The signs below might be in the user manual, labeling or other components.
They are the requirement of standard and usage.
Note:
Not all symbols may appear in this INSTRUCTION MANUAL
•
This device is intended for adult use in homes only.
•
This device is not suitable for use on neonatal patients, pregnant women, patients with
implanted, electronical devices, patients with pre-eclampsia, premature ventricular beats,
atrial fibrillation, peripheral, arterial disease and patients undergoing intravascular therapy
or arterio-venous shunt or people who received a mastectomy. Please consult your doctor
prior to using the unit if you suffer from any medical conditions.
•
This device is not suitable for measuring the blood pressure of children. Ask your doctor
before using it on older children.
•
This device is not intended for patient transport outside a healthcare facility.
•
The device is not intended for public use.
•
This device is intended for non-invasive measuring and monitoring of arterial blood
pressure. It is not intended for use on extremities other than the arm or for functions
other than obtaining a blood pressure measurement.
•
Do not confuse self-monitoring with self-diagnosis. This unit allows you to monitor your
blood pressure. Do not begin or end medical treatment without asking a physician for
treatment advice.
•
If you are taking medication, consult your physician to determine the most appropriate time
to measure your blood pressure. Never change a prescribed medication without consulting
your physician.
•
Do not take any therapeutic measures on the basis of a self measurement. Never alter the
dose of a medicine prescribed by a doctor. Consult your doctor if you have any question
about your blood pressure.
•
When the device was used to measure patients who have common arrhythmias such as atrial
or ventricular premature beats or atrial fibrillation, the best result may occur with deviation.
Please consult your physician about the result.
•
Don’t kink the connection tube during use, otherwise, the cuff pressure may continuously
increase which can prevent blood flow and result in harmful injury.
•
When using this device, please pay attention to the following situations which may interrupt
blood flow and influence blood circulation of the patient, thus cause harmful injury to the
patient: connection tubing kinking too frequent and consecutive multiple measurements;
the application of the cuff and its pressurization on any arm where intravascular access
or therapy, or an arterio-venous (A-V) shunt, is present; inflating the cuff on the side of a
mastectomy.
•
Warning: Do not apply the cuff over a wound, otherwise it can cause further injury.
•
Do not inflate the cuff on the same limb of which other monitoring equipment is applied
as this could cause temporary loss of function of those simultaneously-used monitoring
equipment.
•
On the rare occasion of a fault causing the cuff to remain fully inflated during measurement,
open the cuff immediately. Prolonged high pressure (cuff pressure > 300mmHg or
constant pressure >15mmHg for more than 3 minutes) applied to the arm may lead to an
ecchymosis.
