Hazardous materials - Used batteries qualify as hazardous waste and should be disposed of properly. BTL
recorders do not contain any materials qualified as pharmaceutical substance or tissue of animal origin. They emit
no material hazardous to humans.
•
Risk of incorrect diagnosis - The basic intended use of BTL-08 ABPM recorders is to record blood pressure and
pulse rate values. Patients should be informed about rules of cooperative behaviour, proper handling of the
recorder used, and expected results of monitoring in advance. BTL-08 ABPM recorders only provide data to
support diagnostic decisions of a qualified physician, they do not automatically provide a diagnosis of any kind.
During the evaluation of recorded blood pressure values, possible artefacts due to external disturbances, motion
artefacts, and electrical noise should be observed and handled with caution.
