CAUTION:
• The device should not be used when your
wrist has been wounded/injuried or when a
catheter has been inserted. Such use may
result in injury.
• Remove any kind of wrist jewelry or the like
before taking a measurement. This could
cause bruises.
• Do not place the device over heavy cloth-
ing (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 mea-
surement.
• In case the cuff does not stop inflating, inter-
rupt the measurement by pressing the start/
stop button and open the cuff at once.
• When applying the wrist cuff, make sure
there are no wrinkles in the cuff. This could
cause bruises.
• 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 cou-
ple 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.
• It is recommended that the cuff be cleaned
after every 200th use.
• It is recommended that the cuff be disin-
fected twice a week using a cloth that is
lightly moistened with ethyl alcohol (75 – 90
%); then allowed to air dry.
• The cuff must be fitted snugly around your
wrist, but must not constrict blood flow.
