* This device is intended for adult use in homes only.
* The device is not suitable for use on neonatal patients, pregnant women,patients with implanted, electronical devices, patients with pre-eclampsia, premature ventricular beats,
atrial fibrillation, peripheral, arterial disease and patients undergoing intravascular therapy or arterio-venous shunt or people who received a mastectomy. Please consult your doctor
prior to using the unit if you suffer from illnesses.
* The device is not suitable for measuring the blood pressure of children. Ask your doctor before using it on older children.
* The device is not intended for public use.
* This device is intended for non-invasive measuring and monitoring of arterial blood pressure.
It is not intended for use on extremities other than the arm or for functions other than obtaining a blood pressure measurement.
* Do not confuse self-monitoring with self-diagnosis. This unit allows you to monitor your blood pressure.Do not begin or end medical treatment without asking a physician for
treatment advice.
* If you are taking medication,consult your physician to determine the most appropriate time to measure your blood pressure. Never change a prescribed medication without
consulting your physician.
* Do not take any therapeutic measures on the basis of a self measurement. Never alter the dose of a medicine prescribed by a doctor. Consult your doctor if you have any question
about your blood pressure.
* When the device is used to measure patients who have common arrhythmias such as atrial or ventricular premature beats or atrial fibrillation, the results might be inaccurate.
Please consult your physician about the result.
* When using this device, please pay attention to the following situation which may interrupt blood flow and influence blood circulation of the patient, thus cause harmful injury to the
patient: consecutive multiple measurements; the application of the cuff and its pressurization on any arm where intravascular access or therapy, or an arterio-venous (A-V) shunt, is
present; inflating the cuff on the side of a mastectomy.
* Warning: Do not apply the cuff over a wound;otherwise it can cause further injury.
*Do not inflate the cuff on the same limb which other monitoring ME equipment is applied around simultaneously, because this could cause temporary loss of function of those
simultaneously-used monitoring ME equipment.
*On the rare occasion of a fault causing the cuff to remain fully inflated during measurement, open the cuff immediately. Prolonged high pressure (cuff pressure
>
300mmHg or
constant pressure
>
15mmHg for more than 3 minutes) applied to the arm may lead to an ecchymosis.
*Please check that operation of the device does not result in prolonged impairment of patient blood circulation.
* When measuring, please avoid compression or restriction of the connection tubing.
* The device cannot be used with HF surgical equipment at the same time.
