The blood pressure monitor is constructed by precision electronic components. Accuracy of readings and the
instrument’s service life depend on careful handling. Protect the unit against hard knocks (e.g. dropping the unit),
moisture, water, dirt, dust, chemicals, extreme hot or cold temperatures, major temperature fluctuations, direct
exposure to sunlight and heat sources which are too close (e.g. stoves, heating radiators). This may damage the
unit. The device must be stored in the specified ambient conditions. Please see section “Technical Specification”
for details.
•
The device is designed and manufactured for a long service life. However it is generally recommended to have the
monitor inspected every 2 years to ensure proper functioning and accuracy. Please contact your dealer for
maintenance.
•
Never immerse and/or spill water or any other liquid onto the monitor or any components, otherwise liquid may
enter it and cause damage.
•
Never use rechargeable batteries. This may damage the unit.
•
Replace all batteries at the same time and use batteries of the same type. Do not mix old and new batteries.
•
Never attempt to repair, open and/or disassemble the unit or adjust it yourself. This may cause damage to the unit
and impair functions. If you cannot fix the problem using the “TROUBLESHOOTING” instructions, request service
from your dealer.
•
Do not drop or insert any object into any openings or hoses. This may damage the unit.
•
Do not press the buttons with excessive force or with pointed objects.
•
Clean your device and cuff carefully only with a slightly moistened soft cloth and dry it immediately with a soft dry
cloth. Do not press.
•
Do not use any aggressive solvents, cleaning agents, detergents or any other strong chemicals (e.g. thinner,
alcohol, benzene) to clean the device.
•
When storing the device, make sure that no heavy objects are placed on top of it.
•
Do not fold the cuff and tubing tightly. The cuff tube should not have any sharp kinks and keep it away from sharp edges.
•
Leaking batteries may damage the unit. If you do not intend to use the unit for longer periods, remove the batteries
from the battery compartment before placing the device in storage.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
SAFETY NOTES
•
This device should not be used when your arm has been wounded/ injured or when a catheter has been
inserted. Such use may result in injury.
•
Remove any kind of arm jewellery or the like before taking a measurement. This could cause bruises.
• Do not place the arm cu
ff over heavy clothing (e.g. a jacket or sweater sleeve) as the blood pressure monitor
will not be able to take a proper measurement and there is an elevated danger of acquiring hematoma or skin
marks during the course of the measurement.
•
In case the cuff does not stop inflating, interrupt the measurement by pressing the ON/OFF button and open the
cuff at once.
•
In case battery fluid leaks, do not touch the battery fluid. Avoid skin contact (e.g. put on protective gloves) and
clean the battery compartment with dry cloth.
•
Do not disassemble the device, it may cause damage to yourself and to the product. If you cannot fix the
problem using the “TROUBLESHOOTING” instructions, request service from your dealer.
•
When applying the cuff, make sure there are no wrinkles in the cuff as this could cause bruises.
•
Blood pressure measurements can lead to temporary marks on the skin at the site of the cuff placement. This is
especially the case in high repetition rates, in hypertonic patients and in patients with weak heart rates. In rare
cases a mark may persist for couple of days. Please contact your physician about these specific risks of cuff
pressure in your specific case.
•
Do not exert any kind of pressure on the hose during measurement, e.g. laying your arms or any other object on
the hose. This could cause incorrect measurements.
