Safety information and important precautions
To ensure accurate measuring results, read the complete instructions for
use carefully. People suffering from renal diseases, cardiac arrhythmia,
vascular constriction, arteriosclerosis in the extremities, diabetes or users
of cardiac pacemakers should consult their doctor before measuring
their blood pressure themselves. Deviations in blood pressure values
may occur in such cases. If your blood pressure reading is in the
hypertensive crisis range with a systolic blood pressure value higher than
180 mmHg and / or a diastolic blood pressure value higher than 120
mmHg and you find you have one or two readings in this range - please
see your doctor immediately.
The use of this blood pressure monitor is not intended as a
substitute for a consultation with your doctor.
Avoid compression or restriction of the connection tubing. Continuous
cuff pressure due to the connection tubing kinking can affect blood flow
and cause possible injury to the user.
DO NOT use this device on the arm of the same side of the body on
which the user had a mastectomy.
Measuring blood pressure too frequently can cause injury to the user due
to blood flow interference.
DO NOT apply the cuff to a limb on which there is intravascular access or
on which an arterio-venous (A-V) shunt is present. This can cause
temporary interference of blood flow and potential injury to the user.
DO NOT apply the cuff over a wound as this can cause further injury.
DO NOT use the device while simultaneously using other medical
electrical (ME) equipment.
DO NOT use this device on neonatal and infant subjects, pregnant,
including pre-eclamptic, subjects, or persons who cannot express their
intentions.
