7. Safety, Care, Accuracy Test and Disposal

  

Safety and protection

• This device may be used only for the purpose described in this 

instruction manual. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for

 

damage caused by incorrect application.

Follow instructions for use. This document provides important 

product operation and safety information regarding this device. 

Please read this document  thoroughly before using the device 

and keep for future reference.

• This device comprises sensitive components and must be treated

 

with caution. Observe the storage and operating conditions

 

described in the «Technical Specifications» section

.

• Protect it from:

− water and moisture

− extreme temperatures

− impact and dropping

− contamination and dust

− direct sunlight

− heat and cold

• The cuffs are sensitive and must be handled with care.

• Only pump up the cuff once fitted.

Do not use this device close to strong electromagnetic fields 

such  as mobile telephones or radio installations. Keep a 

minimum distance of 3.3 m from such devices when using this 
device.

• Do not use the device if you think it is damaged or notice

 

anything unusual.

• Never open the device.

• Read the additional safety instructions in the individual sections 

of this instruction.

The measurement result given by this device is not a diagnosis. 

It is not replacing the need for the consultation of a physician, 

especially if not matching the patient's symptoms. Do not rely on 

the measurement result only, always consider other potentially 

occurring symptoms and the patient’s feedback. Calling a doctor 
or an ambulance is advised if needed.

 

Ensure that children do not use the device unsupervised; some 

parts are small enough to be swallowed; 

Be aware of the risk of 

strangulation in case this device is supplied with cables or tubes. 

Potential cause and remedy

During the measurement, error 

signals were detected by the cuff, 

caused for instance by movement 

or muscle tension. Repeat the 

measurement, keeping your arm 

still.
No adequate pressure can be 

generated in the cuff. A leak may 

have occurred. Check that the cuff 

is correctly connected and is not too 

loose. Repeat the measurement.

The measuring signals are invalid 

and therefore no result can  be 

displayed.

Read through the checklist for 

performing reliable measurements 

and then repeat the measurement.*

The pressure in the cuff is too 

high  (over 

299

  mmHg)  OR  the 

pulse is too high (over 200 beats 

per minute). Relax and repeat the 

measurement.*
