• Always ensure that the cuff hose is not bent, as this can lead to an impairment of
circulation due to the continuous cuff pressure on the limbs, which could lead to serious
injury to the patient.
Always ensure that the cuff is not applied over a wound as this can lead to further damage
to the patient.
Always ensure that the cuff is not applied to any limb where intravascular access
or intravascular therapy or an arteriovenous (AV) shunt is present, as a temporary
interruption of the blood flow can lead to injury and damage to the patient.
Always make sure the cuff is not placed on the same side where breast amputation has
taken place.
Ensure that the cuff is not applied to the same limb when another ME device is already
connected for monitoring. This could lead to malfunctions of the ME devices.
• Reading errors can occur during blood pressure measurement in patients who suffer
from moderate to severe cardiac arrhythmias.
• If continued blood pressure measurements are to be taken from the same patient, then the
cuff must be removed between the measurements in order to check the skin underneath
the cuff for possible ischemia, discolouration and/or neuropathy.
• Only operate this device with the GlobTek mains adapter of type GTM21089- 1512-T3, as
supplied.
•
If continued SpO2 measurements are to be taken from the same patient, then the
measurement position must be changed regularly. Please check the measuring
position against skin irritations, sufficient perfusion and correct position of the sensor.
Please change the position of the sensor at least every 4 hours.
• To avoid measurement errors, the patient must remain still while the measurement is
being taken.

Riester.
• Only use original Riester probe covers with this device. The use of other probe covers
leads to erroneous temperature readings
