WARNING
Risk of strangulation by shoulder strap and cuff tube
▪
If the patient has limited cognitive abilities, the device may only be used under supervision.
▪
The Mobil-O-Graph
®
must not be used on patients of unsound mind.
▪
If the Mobil-O-Graph
®
is used on children, this should be done with particular caution and under the
constant supervision of the doctor in accordance with regulations.
▪
Do not
place the shoulder strap and cuff tube around the patient’s neck.
▪
Instruct the patient to wear the cuff only on the upper arm and, in any case, to make sure that neither
the shoulder strap nor the pressure tube could ever wrap around the neck. For this purpose, the air
tube is always laid under the outer clothing (even at night).
▪
Be sure to tell patients about the correct positioning of the cuff.
▪
Instruct the patient to turn off the device, remove the cuff and inform you if they are experiencing any
pain, swelling, redness or numbness in the arm around which the cuff is placed. (It is expected that
the patient may experience some mild to moderate discomfort during a blood pressure measurement.)
▪
Measurement can be interrupted at any stage by pressing any button. This deflates the cuff and the
device can be removed.
WARNING
Risk of injury from putting on and pumping up a cuff over a wound
▪
Do not place the Mobil-O-Graph
®
over a wound or bandage.
