operation, as inaccurate measurements may
result. To prevent such interference, use the
unit at a sufficient distance from such devices
or turn the devices off.
• Do not measure your blood pressure while
operating a vehicle or in any situation which
requires your full attention.
• 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 wrist.
• Avoid any mechanical restriction, compression
or bending of the cuff.
• 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.
• Consult your physician if you have any
doubt using the blood pressure monitor
simultaneously with other monitoring medical
equipments on the same limb.
• Do not use the cuff on people who have
undergone a mastectomy.
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 taking a measurement. This could
cause bruises.
• Do not place the 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
start/stop button and open the cuff at once.
