Please contact your physician about the specific risks
of cuff pressure in your specific case.
CAUTION:
• The device should not be used when your arm has been
wounded/injuried or when a catheter has been inserted.
Such use may result in injury.
• Remove any kind of upper arm jewelry or the like be-
fore taking a measurement. This could cause bruises.
• Do not place the arm cuff over heavy clothing (e.g. a
jacket or sweater sleeve) as the blood pressure monitor
will not be able to take a proper measurement and there
is an elevated danger of acquiring hematoma or skin
marks during the course of the measurement.
• In case the cuff does not stop inflating, interrupt the
measurement by pressing the start/stop button and
open the cuff at once.
• When applying the arm cuff, make sure there are no
wrinkles in the cuff. This could cause bruises.
• Do not exert any kind of pressure on the hose during
measurement, e.g. laying your arms or any other object
on the hose. This could cause incorrect measurements.
• Blood pressure measurements can lead to temporary
marks on the skin at the site of the cuff placement. This
is especially the case in high repetition rates, in hyper-
tonic patients and in patients with weak pulses. In rare
cases a mark may persist for a couple of days. Please
contact your physician about these specific risks of cuff
pressure in your specific case.
• For hygienic reasons the cuff is intended only for use
by one person.
• It is recommended that the cuff be cleaned after every
200th use.
• It is recommended that the cuff be disinfected twice a
week using a cloth that is lightly moistened with ethyl
alcohol (75 – 90 %); then allowed to air dry.
6.1 Positioning cuff
NOTE:
Always properly position the Arm Cuff on the arm at heart
level, according to the following instructions.
Fit the cuff round your bare left
upper arm. Do not place the
arm cuff over heavy cloth-
ing (e.g. a jacket or sweater
sleeve) as the blood pressure
monitor will not be able to take
a proper measurement. Blood
circulation in the arm should
not be restricted by tight cloth-
ing or other objects.
