• Please note that when inflating, the functions of the
limb in question may be impaired.
• During the blood pressure measurement, the blood
circulation must not be stopped for an unnecessarily
long time. If the device malfunctions, remove the cuff
from the arm.
• Avoid any mechanical restriction, compression or
bending of the cuff line.
• Do not allow sustained pressure in the cuff or frequent
measurements. The resulting restriction of the blood
flow may cause injury.
• Make sure 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
arteriovenous (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 upper arm only. Do not place
the cuff on other parts of the body.
• You can either use the blood pressure monitor with
batteries or with a power adapter. 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 or the power
adapter is disconnected from the power supply, the
blood pressure monitor loses the date and time.
• To conserve the batteries, the blood pressure monitor
switches off automatically if no buttons are pressed
for one minute.
• 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.
CAUTION – To reduce the risk of personal injury or
product/ property damage:
• 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.
