Cleaning
ATTENTION
▪
To clean, use lukewarm water up to 30 °C at
most, to which you can add a mild detergent if
necessary. (Never use abrasive or solvent-
based detergents as these can damage the
surface of the blood pressure monitor and the
cuff.)
▪
Do not use fabric softeners or other additives
(e.g. hygiene rinses, textile deodorants).
These agents can leave behind residues and
damage the material.
▪
The cuff can be washed in the washing
machine up to 30°C using a mild detergent
without spin-dry.
▪
The cuff is not suitable for drying in a dryer.
▪
The Velcro strip must always be closed
before washing.
