• The blood pressure monitor must not be used in connection
with a high-frequency surgical unit.
• Only use the unit on people that have the specified upper
arm measurement for the unit.
• Please note that when inflating, the functions of the limb in
question may be impaired.
• During the blood pressure measurement, the blood circu-
lation 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 meas-
urements. 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 intravascular or therapy, or an arte-
riovenous (AV) shunt.
• Do not use the cuff on people who have undergone a mas-
tectomy.
• Do not place the cuff over wounds as this may cause fur-
ther injury.
• The blood pressure monitor can only be operated with bat-
teries.
• 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.
Instructions for storage and maintenance
• The blood pressure monitor is made from precision and
electronic components. The accuracy of the measurements
and service life of the device depend on its careful handling:
– Protect the device from impacts, humidity, dirt, marked
temperature fluctuations and direct sunlight.
– Do not drop the device.
– Do not use the device in the vicinity of strong electro-
magnetic fields and keep it away from radio systems or
mobile telephones.
– Only use the cuff included with the delivery or original
replacement parts. Otherwise incorrect measurements
will be recorded.
• Do not press the buttons before the cuff is placed on the
arm.
• We recommend that the batteries be removed if the device
will not be used for a prolonged period of time.
