• Do not use the blood pressure monitor on newborns or
patients with pre-eclampsia. Consult your doctor before
using the blood pressure monitor during pregnancy.
• Cardiovascular diseases may lead to incorrect
measurements or have a detrimental effect on
measurement accuracy. The same also applies to very
low blood pressure, diabetes, circulatory disorders and
arrhythmias as well as chills or shaking.
• This device is not intended for use by people (including
children) with restricted physical, sensory or mental
skills or a lack of experience and/or a lack of knowledge,
unless they are supervised by a person who is
responsible for their safety or are instructed by such
a person in how to use the device. Supervise children
around the device to ensure they do not play with it.
• The blood pressure monitor must not be used in
connection with a high-frequency surgical unit.
• Only use the device on people who have the specified
upper arm measurement for the device.
• Please note that when inflating, the functions of the limb
in question may be impaired.
• During the blood pressure measurement, the blood
circulation must not be stopped for an unnecessarily long
time. If the device malfunctions, remove the cuff from the
arm.
• Avoid any mechanical restriction, compression or
bending of the cuff line.
• Do not allow sustained pressure in the cuff or frequent
measurements. The resulting restriction of the blood flow
may cause injury.
• Make sure 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
mastectomy.
• Do not place the cuff over wounds as this may cause
further injury.
• Place the cuff on your upper arm only. Do not place the
cuff on other parts of the body.
• You can either use the blood pressure monitor with
batteries or with a power adapter. Please note that
data transfer and data storage is only possible when
your blood pressure monitor is supplied with power. As
soon as the batteries are empty or the power adapter is
disconnected from the power supply, the blood pressure
monitor loses the date and time.
• To conserve the batteries, the blood pressure monitor
switches off automatically 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.
CAUTION – To reduce the risk of personal injury or
product/ property damage:
• 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 upper arm jewelry or the like before
taking a measurement. This could cause bruises.
