Safety instructions
• Blood-pressure measurements on children and pregnant women require special-
ist knowledge! Please consult your doctor if you wish to measure the blood
pressure of a child or a pregnant woman.
• The supplied standard cuff is designed for an upper-arm circumference of 22-32
cm. Special cuffs are available for larger and smaller arm circumferences (Page
EN-33).
• Measuring your own blood pressure does not constitute treatment. Do not
modify of your own accord the dosage of drugs/medication prescribed by 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) or other medical monitoring devices might be interrupted.
• Please refer to the chapter “Important instructions for use” (Page EN-25) before
conducting any measurements yourself.
• The device does not have any pressure limitation at 150 mmHg and should
therefore only be used for infants by medical experts.
• The airhoses pose a risk of strangulation. 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.
