CONTRAINDICATIONS
It is not recommended for people with serious arrhythmia to
use this blood pressure monitor.
CAUTIONS
Self-diagnosis of measurement results and self-treatment
are potentially dangerous. You should always consult your
doctor.
People with severe blood flow problems, or blood disorders,
should consult a doctor before using the blood pressure
monitor as cuff inflation might cause internal bleeding.
Complicating factors such as common arrhythmias,
ventricular premature beats, atrial fibrillation, arterial
sclerosis, poor perfusion, diabetes, age, pregnancy,
preeclampsia or renal disease can affect the performance
of the automated sphygmomanometer and/or its blood
pressure reading.
If you suffer from an irregular heartbeat, measurements taken
with this device should be evaluated with your doctor.
This device may only be used for the purposes described in
this User Manual. The manufacturer cannot be held liable
for damage or injury caused by incorrect use. Always follow
the operating procedures described in this User Manual
to measure your blood pressure accurately and safely.
