7. Care and maintenance
a) Do not expose the device to either extreme
temperatures, humidity, dust or direct sun-
light.
b) The cuff contains a sensitive air-tight bubble.
Handle this cuff carefully and avoid all types
of stress through twisting or buckling.
c) 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.
The cuff with
bladder (see 8.1 below) must not be
washed in a dishwasher, clothes wash-
er, or submerged in water.
d) Handle the tube carefully. Do not pull on it.
Do not allow the tubing to kink and keep it
away from sharp edges.
e) Do not drop the monitor or treat it roughly in
any way. Avoid strong vibrations.
f)
Never open the monitor!
This invalidates
the manufacturer’s warrantee.
g) Batteries and electronic instruments must be
disposed of in accordance with the locally
applicable regulations, not with domestic
waste.
