8. Care and Maintenance
a) Do not expose the device to either extreme tem-
peratures, humidity, dust or direct sunlight.
b) The cuff contains a sensitive air-tight bubble.
Handle this cuff carefully and avoid all types of
stress through twisting or buckling.
c) Clean the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use
gas, thinners or similar solvents. Spots on the cuff
can be removed carefully with a damp cloth and
soapsuds.
The cuff with bladder must not be
washed in a dishwasher, clothes washer, or
submerged in water.
d) Handle the tube carefully. Do not pull on it. Do not
allow the tubing to kink and keep it away from
sharp edges.
e) Do not drop the monitor or treat it roughly in any
way. Avoid strong vibrations.
f)
Never open the monitor!
This invalidates the
manufacturer’s warrantee.
g) Batteries and electronic instruments must be dis-
posed of in accordance with the locally applicable
regulations, not with domestic waste.
