Safety instructions
Thank you for choosing the visocor
®
OM50 upper arm blood pressure monitor (also referred to in the following as the
unit). This unit is recommended for patients with unstable blood pressure, for measuring their blood pressure at home and
for therapy support.
visocor
®
OM50 uses the oscillometric method for measuring blood pressure and pulse rate.
Using the pressure variations caused by the pulse at falling cuff pressure, the micro-computer calculates the values systole,
diastole, and pulse. Afterwards, the cuff is deflated completely.
A measurement value memory stores the most recent 60 measurement results in each case.
These instructions are intended to help you use the unit reliably and effectively. Keep the instructions together with the unit
at all times. The unit must be used in accordance with the methods detailed in these instructions and may not be used for
other purposes. Read these instructions carefully before using the unit.
Important instructions for patients
1.
The unit is designed for non-invasive measurement of the systolic and diastolic blood pressure on the upper arm,
as well as measurement of the pulse rate of adults, i.e. 15 years of age and older. Blood pressure measurements on
children require specialist knowledge! Please consult your doctor if you wish to measure the blood pressure of a child.
Do not under any circumstances use the unit on a baby/infant.
•
The cuff has been specially developed for this unit and must not be used with other units.
•
The measurement results of automatically measuring blood pressure monitors may be falsified by pregnancy, irregular
heartbeat or arteriosclerosis. Measure your own blood pressure in consultation with your doctor.
•
Do not under any circumstances place the cuff on or over any critical point, e.g. wound, aneurysm, etc. Risk of injuries!
The supply via an intravascular access (infusion) might be interrupted.
•
The unit contains small parts which could be swallowed by children. It should therefore be kept out of the reach of
children at all times.
•
If you have had a mastectomy, do not measure blood pressure on the side of the body where the breast has been
removed together with the lymph nodes from the armpit.
•
Measuring your own blood pressure does not constitute treatment. On no account modify of your own accord the dos-
age of drugs/medication prescribed by your doctor.
