SAFETY NOTES
• This device should not be used when your arm has been wounded/ injured or when a catheter has been
inserted. Such use may result in injury.
• Remove any kind of arm jewellery 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 ON/OFF button and open the
cuff at once.
• In case battery fluid leaks, do not touch the battery fluid. Avoid skin contact (e.g. put on protective gloves) and
clean the battery compartment with dry cloth.
• Do not disassemble the device, it may cause damage to yourself and to the product. If you cannot fix the
problem using the “TROUBLESHOOTING” instructions, request service from your dealer.
• When applying the cuff, make sure there are no wrinkles in the cuff as 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 heart rates. In rare
cases a mark may persist for couple of days. Please contact your physician about these specific risks of cuff
pressure in your specific case.
• Do not exert any kind of pressure on the hose during measurement, e.g. laying your arms or any other object on
the hose. This could cause incorrect measurements.
CAUTION
•
Do not use the device at the same time as other medical electrical devices (ME equipment). This could lead to a
malfunction of the device and/or an inaccurate measurement.
