• Cardiovascular diseases may lead to incorrect measure-
ments or have a detrimental effect on measurement accu-
racy. The same also applies to very low blood pressure, dia-
betes, circulatory disorders and arrhythmias as well as chills
or shaking.
• The blood pressure monitor must not be used in connection
with a high-frequency surgical unit.
• Only use the unit 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 the blood pressure measurement, blood circulation
must not be stopped for an unnecessarily long time. If the
device malfunctions, remove the cuff from the arm.
• Do not allow sustained pressure in the cuff or frequent
measurements. The resulting restriction of the blood flow
may cause injury.
• Ensure that the cuff is not placed on an arm in which the
arteries or veins are undergoing medical treatment, e.g.
intravascular access or therapy, or an arteriovenous (AV)
shunt.
• Do not use the cuff on people who have undergone a mas-
tectomy.
• Do not place the cuff over wounds as this may cause further
injury.
• Place the cuff on your wrist only. Do not place the cuff on
other parts of the body.
• The blood pressure monitor can only be operated with bat-
teries.
• To conserve the batteries, the monitor switches off automati-
cally if no buttons are pressed for one minute.
• The device is only intended for the purpose described in
these instructions for use. The manufacturer is not liable for
damage resulting from improper or careless use.
Storage and Care
• The blood pressure monitor is made up of precision elec-
tronic components. Accuracy of readings and the instru-
ment's service life depend on careful handling.
– You should protect the device from impact, moisture, dirt,
major temperature fluctuations and direct exposure to the
sun's rays.
– Never drop the device.
– Do not use near strong electromagnetic fields, i.e. keep it
away from any radio systems and mobile phones.
• If the instrument is not used for any length of time, we rec-
ommend removing the batteries.
Notes on handling batteries
• If your skin or eyes come into contact with battery fluid,
flush out the affected areas with water and seek medical
assistance.
•
Choking hazard! Small children may swallow and choke
on batteries. Store the batteries out of the reach of small
children.
• Observe the plus (+) and minus (-) polarity signs.
• If a battery has leaked, put on protective gloves and clean
the battery compartment with a dry cloth.
• Protect the batteries from excessive heat.
