Compressing the pneumatic tubing may cause system errors.
Do not use the device if it has failed its diagnostic self test or if it displays
a greater than zero pressure with no cuff attached.
Prevent water or other fluids from entering any connectors or vents on
the device. Should this happen, all connectors should be dried with warm
air. Then check the calibration of the device and operating functions
before reusing.
Do not make repairs yourself. Equipment must be returned to Riester or
authorized service personnel for repairs. Substitution of a component
different from that supplied may result in measurement error.
If the Riester ri-medic is dropped or mishandled, please have it checked
by a authorized service center before bringing it back into use.
The Riester ri-medic is not intended for patients connected to a
cardiopulmonary bypass machine.
At least every three months, inspect cords and accessories for fraying or
other mechanical damage. Replace as necessary.
Check the calibration of your Riester ri-medic at least once every two
years.
If Luer Lock connectors are used in the constructions of tubing, there is a
possibility that they might be inadvertently connected to intravascular
fluid systems, allowing air to be pumped into a blood vessel.
