• In the case of restricted circulation on the arm
as a result of chronic or acute vascular diseases
(including vascular constriction), a wrist measure-
ment can be inaccurate. In this case you should
avoid using a wrist blood pressure monitor.
• Cardiovascular diseases may lead to incorrect
measurements or affect measurement accuracy.
The same also applies to very low blood pressure,
diabetes, circulatory disorders and arrhythmias as
well as chills or shaking.
• The wrist blood pressure monitor must not be
used in connection with a high-frequency surgi-
cal unit.
• Only use the device on people who have the
specified wrist measurement for the device.
• Please note that when inflating, the functions of
the limb in question may be impaired.
• During measurement, blood circulation must not
be restricted for an extended period. If the device
malfunctions, remove the device from the wrist.
• 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 blood flow may cause injury.
• Do not use on an wrist in which the arteries or
veins are undergoing medical treatment, e.g.
intravascular access or therapy, or an arteriove-
nous (AV) shunt.
• Do not use if you have had a mastectomy.
• Do not place the cuff over wounds as this may
cause further injury.
• The wrist blood pressure monitor can only be
operated with batteries.
• As soon as the batteries are empty the blood
pressure monitor loses the date and time.
• To conserve batteries, the monitor switches off if
no buttons are pressed for three minutes.
• Use this device only as described in these instruc-
tions for use. The manufacturer is not liable for
damage resulting from improper or careless use.
