■ ■
Do not leave the device unattended near small children or persons who
cannot operate it themselves. There is a risk of strangulation if the cuff
tube becomes wrapped around the neck. Swallowing small parts that have
detached from the device can also result in suffocation.
■ ■
Do not under any circumstances carry out blood pressure measurements on
newborns, babies or toddlers.
■ ■
Please note that the pressure build-up in the cuff can lead to temporary
disruption of medical devices being used at the same time on the same arm.
■ ■
The function of the arm on which the cuff is placed may become impaired
during inflation.
■ ■
If you carry out the measurement on yourself or another person, please
ensure that using the blood pressure monitor does not lead to ongoing
reduction in the blood circulation.
■ ■
Taking measurements too often within a short time period as well as
maintaining continuous cuff pressure can disrupt blood circulation and
cause injury. Please take a break between measurements and do not kink
the air tube. If the monitor malfunctions, remove the cuff from the arm.
■ ■
If a possible allergic skin reaction occurs on the arm where the cuff is used,
discontinue its use and consult a physician.
■ ■
Always consult your doctor about if and when the blood pressure monitor
can be used by pre-eclampsia patients during pregnancy.
■ ■
The device is not intended for use in vehicles (e.g. ambulances) or
helicopters.
