1. The Basics
This manual contains the instructions necessary to operate the
product safely and in accordance with its function and
intended use. Observance of this manual is a prerequisite for
proper product performance and correct operation and
ensures patient and operator safety.
Safety
Precision components are used in the construction of this
device. Extremes in temperature, humidity, direct sunlight,
shock or dust should be avoided.
Clean the device and cuff with a dry, soft cloth or a cloth
dampened with water and a neutral detergent. Never use
alcohol, benzene, thinner or other harsh chemicals to clean the
device or cuff.
Avoid tightly folding the cuff or storing the hose tightly
twisted for long periods, as such treatment may shorten the life
of the components.
Do not use in a location with moisture, or a location where
water may splash on the device. This may damage the device.
Measurements may be distorted if the device is used close to
television, microwave oven, cellular telephone, X-ray or other
devices with strong electrical fields.
Sources of electromagnetic disturbance may affect this device
(e.g. mobile telephones, microwave cookers,diathermy,
lithotripsy, electrocautery, RFID, electromagnetic anti-theft
systems, and metal detectors), please try to stay away from
them when making measurements.
When reusing the device, confirm that the device is clean.
Do not disassemble or attempt to repair the monitor or
components. This may cause an inaccurate reading.
To measure blood pressure, the arm must be squeezed by the
cuff hard enough to temporarily stop blood flow through the
artery. This may cause pain, numbness or a temporary red
mark to the arm. This condition will appear especially when
measurement is repeated successively. Any pain, numbness, or
red marks will disappear with time.
