CAUTION
• The device should not be used when your arm has been
wounded/injuried or when a catheter has been inserted.
Such use may result in injury.
• Remove any kind of upper arm jewelry or the like before
taking a measurement. This could cause bruises.
• Do not place the arm cuff over heavy clothing (e.g. a
jacket or sweater sleeve) as the blood pressure monitor
will not be able to take a proper measurement and there
is an elevated danger of acquiring hematoma or skin
marks during the course of the measurement.
• In case the cuff does not stop inflating, interrupt the
measurement by pressing the start/stop button and
open the cuff at once.
• Do not disassemble the unit, it may result in injuries.
• When applying the arm cuff, make sure there are no
wrinkles in the cuff. This could cause bruises.
• Do not exert any kind of pressure on the hose during
measurement, e.g. laying your arms or any other object
on the hose. This could cause incorrect measurements.
• Blood pressure measurements can lead to temporary
marks on the skin at the site of the cuff placement.
This is especially the case in high repetition rates, in
hypertonic patients and in patients with weak pulses.
In rare cases a mark may persist for a couple of days.
Please contact your physician about these specific
risks of cuff pressure in your specific case.
• For hygienic reasons the cuff is intended only for the
use by one person.
• Prolonged overinflation (cuff pressure exceeds 300
mmHg or maintained above 15mmHg for longer than 3
minutes) of the bladder may cause ecchymoma of your
arm.
Notice
• The blood pressure monitor is made up of precision
electronic components. Accuracy of readings and the
instrument's service life depend on careful handling.
Protect the unit against hard knocks (e.g. dropping the
unit), moisture, water, dirt, dust, chemicals, extreme hot
or cold temperatures, major temperature fluctuations,
direct exposure to sunlight and heat sources which
are too close (e.g. stoves, heating radiators). This
may damage the unit. The device must be stored
in the specified ambient conditions. Please see
section "10. Care and Maintenance" and section "12.
Specifications" for details.
• Do not use any aggressive solvents, cleaning agents,
detergents or any other strong chemicals to clean the
device.
• Never immerse and or spill water or any other liquid
onto the monitor or any components, otherwise liquid
will enter it and cause damage.
