Safety Information - Medisana CardioDock Instrucciones De Manejo

•
Irregularity of pulse or arrhythmia can lead to difficul-
ties in recording a correct reading when measure-
ments are taken using oscillometric blood pressure
devices. This device is electronically equipped to
detect arrhythmia and what are known as movement
artefacts, which it indicates on the display with the
icon . In this case, the reading may be imprecise.
Inform your doctor so that he or she can assess the
situation.
•
If you should suffer from conditions such as arterial
occlusive disease, please consult your doctor be-
fore using the unit.
•
The unit may not be used to check the heart rate of
patients with a pacemaker.
•
Pregnant patients should take their own personal
state of health into consideration and take all
necessary precautions before using the unit. If in
doubt, consult your doctor.
•
Should you experience discomfort or other com-
plaints during measurement, for example pain in the
upper arm, please take the following action: Press
the Start/Stop button
Stop button on the display to deflate the cuff imme-
diately. Loosen the cuff and remove it from your arm.
Please contact either your supplier or MEDISANA
directly.
•
Do not use the cuff on open wounds, in order to
prevent the spread of infection.
•
Patients with a weak pulse should raise their arm
and open and close their hand around 10 times
before taking a reading. This exercise optimizes the
pulse and the measuring process.
