WARNING
Danger of blood flow interruptions as a result of steady cuff pressure or too frequent measuring
▪
Ensure the cuff hose is in the correct position and take care that the cuff hose is not knotted, pinched,
kinked or stretched.

your physician. (It is expected that some mild to moderate discomfort may be experienced during a
blood pressure measurement.)

Measurement can be interrupted at any stage by pressing the
button. This deflates the cuff
and the device can be removed.
