9.2 Important instructions for the patient
■
The beep signals a measurement. Keep still during the measurement until the process is complete. Let your
arm hang loosely or, when sitting, let your lower arm rest on the table or on a support. Avoid moving your
hand during the measurement.
■
The Start key
triggers an additional measurement. Press this key only if instructed to do so by your
doctor (e.g. after taking medication, if you have chest pains or shortness of breath etc.).
■
The Event key
records the time of an event and triggers a measurement. Press this key only if
something important or unusual is happening.
■
The Day/Night key
should be pressed immediately before going to sleep and upon waking.
■
The ON/OFF key
permits the device to be switched on and off if a measurement is not required at the
set time. To switch off, press the key for longer than 2 seconds.
■
A measurement can be interrupted at any time by pressing any of the keys. This deflates the cuff.
Warnings:
■
The cuff may only be worn on the upper arm and in every case you should ensure that neither the shoulder
strap nor the air tube can ever become wrapped around your neck. The air tube should therefore always be
worn under the outer clothing (even at night).
■
Take care to ensure that the tube of the cuff cannot be kinked or compressed, particularly while sleeping.
■
If the measurement causes you pain, switch off the device, take off the cuff and inform your doctor.
■
The blood pressure monitor must not come into contact with liquids. Do not wear the equipment in the
shower! If, for example, water has entered the device, it may no longer be used. Switch off the device and
take out the batteries.
■
Serious malfunctions are indicated by a continuous beep. If a continuous beep sounds, switch off the
device, take off the cuff and inform your doctor.
■
The cuff connection (air connector) must always engage with an audible click. Otherwise there will be a
leaky connection between the Mobil-O-Graph
®
and the tube that will produce incorrect measurements.
