• Do not allow sustained pressure in the cuff or frequent
measurements. The resulting restriction of the blood
flow may cause injury.
• Ensure that the cuff is not placed on an arm in which
the arteries or veins are undergoing medical treatment,
e.g. intravascular access or therapy, or an arterio-
venous (AV) shunt.
• Do not use the cuff on people who have undergone a
mastectomy.
• Do not place the cuff over wounds as this may cause
further injury.
• Place the cuff on your wrist only. Do not place the cuff
on other parts of the body.
• The blood pressure monitor can only be operated with
batteries.
• To conserve the batteries, the blood pressure monitor
switches off automatically if you do not press any but-
tons for 30 seconds.
• The device is only intended for the purpose described
in these instructions for use. The manufacturer is not
liable for damage resulting from improper or careless
use.
• Please note that data transfer and data storage is only
possible when your blood pressure monitor is supplied
with power. As soon as the batteries are empty, the
blood pressure monitor loses the date and time.
Instructions for storage and maintenance
• The blood pressure monitor is made from precision and
electronic components. The accuracy of the measure-
ments and service life of the device depend on its care-
ful handling:
