Safety instructions

Warning
Risk of strangulation posed by the shoulder strap and cuff tubing.
If the patient has limited cognitive abilities, the device may only be used under supervision.
•
Do not place the shoulder strap and cuff tubing around the patient's neck.
•
• Always place the cuff tubing under the outer clothing (even at night).
• When used on children, the device must only be applied with special care and under permanent
supervision.
Instruct the patient to turn off the device, remove the cuff, and notify the doctor if they are
•
experiencing pain, swelling, redness or numbness in the limb where the cuff is placed. (It is expected
that the patient may experience some mild to moderate discomfort during a blood pressure
measurement.)
Measurement can be interrupted at any stage by pushing any of the buttons. This deflates the cuff
•
and the device can be removed.
Warning
In very rare cases materials used for and on the cuff may cause allergic reactions.
• Do not use the cuff on patients with a known hypersensitivity to epoxy resin.
Caution
Risk of injury caused by incorrect application of the device.
The doctor must ensure that, due to the patient's medical condition, the use of the device and the
•
cuff does not result in impaired blood circulation.
If the patient has limited cognitive abilities, the device may only be used under supervision.
•
When used on children, the device must only be applied with special care and under permanent
•
supervision.
While it is still attached to a patient, the device may never be connected to a PC or other device.
•
• Instruct the patient to place the device in such a way that, while the cuff is inflated, the tubing is not
compressed or kinked, especially during sleep.
• Petechiae, haemorrhages or subcutaneous haematoma may occur in some patients.
• Instruct the patient to turn off the device, remove the cuff, and notify the doctor if they are
experiencing pain, swelling, redness or numbness in the limb where the cuff is placed. (It is expected
that the patient may experience some mild to moderate discomfort during a blood pressure
measurement.)

Inserting the batteries

Attention
Damage to device
Do not wear the ABPM 7100 while showering! If you suspect that liquid has entered the device while
•
cleaning or using it, the device shall no longer be used on the patient.
If the device was exposed to moisture, switch off the device and remove the batteries.
•
Inform your service immediately and send the device in for inspection.
•
• The device may not be operated around MRI scanners or in the immediate vicinity of other medical
electrical equipment.
• During a defibrillator discharge, the device shall not be in contact with the patient. Such a discharge
may damage the ABPM 7100 and cause it to display incorrect values.
• The ABPM 7100 is not suitable for simultaneous use with HF surgical equipment.
• Measurement can be interrupted at any stage by pushing a random button. This deflates the cuff and
the device can be removed.
Attention
Device function
Although zinc-carbon batteries may indicate sufficient voltage during a battery test, their output is
•
frequently insufficient to perform 24-hour measurements.
To conduct measurements over 48 hours, you will need 2 additional batteries as replacement after
•
24 hours.
Attention
Damage to device
Do not open the casing. Once the device is opened, all warranties will lapse.
•
Open the batteries compartment on the rear of the ABPM 7100 casing to insert the batteries into the ABPM
7100 according to the battery polarities (+ / -) and close the compartment.
Note Always use fully charged batteries for a new measurement
•
Only use undamaged batteries
•
• Please remove the batteries if the device has not been used for a longer period
• When inserting the batteries, please ensure correct polarity
