9. CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Do not expose the device to either extreme temperatures, humidity, dust or
direct sunlight.

Handle the cuff carefully and avoid all types of stress through twisting or
buckling in order not to damage the sensitive air-tight bubble.

Clean the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use gas, thinners or similar
solvents. Spots on the cuff can be removed carefully with a damp cloth and
soapsuds. Do not submerge the cuff in water!

Handle the tubing carefully.
Keep the tube away from sharp edges.

Do not drop the monitor or treat it roughly in any way.

Never open the monitor!
This invalidates the manufacturer’s warranty.

Note:

According to international standards, your monitor should be checked for calibration every 2

years. Contact ADC for an accuracy check.
