of cuff pressure in your specific case.
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 wrist jewelry or the like before tak-
ing a measurement. This could cause bruises.

• In case the cuff does not stop inflating, interrupt the
measurement by pressing the start/stop button and
open the cuff at once.
• When applying the arm cuff, make sure there are no
wrinkles in the cuff. This could cause bruises.

measurement, e.g. laying your arms or any other object
on the tube. 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 hyper-
tonic 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.
