WARNING
 Precautions for Use of Universal Probe (UD-5C)
 Although UD-5C is suitable for long-term measurement, change the measuring
site every 8 hours (recommended wearing hours) to prevent rash or a low-
temperature burn. Be especially careful for continuous use on a patient with
peripheral circulatory disturbance by changing the measuring site frequently.
 If the use of adhesive tape causes skin irritation, it should be discontinued.
 When securing the probe with bandage tape, do not tighten it too hard as this
may cause edema or congestion.

When removing the tape, be careful not to damage the skin.
CAUTION
 Precautions for Use of Universal Probe (UD-5C)
 When removing the probe, do not pull on the cord, and remove the tape. Do not
apply excessive force to remove the tape. It may break the probe.
 Cover the probe with a black cover if it is exposed to high-intensity light such as
direct light and surgical light to prevent measurement error.
 Remove nail polish before taking measurements to enable stable
measurements.
 It may not be possible to take measurements in case of an excessively high
hematocrit value. In such case, reattach the probe to a thinner finger.

After attaching the probe, make sure that there is no failure message and the
pulse wave level on the LCD is upper than 2. If not upper than level 2, it may
measure incorrectly. In such case, warm the finger to improve blood circulation.
