CARE, STORAGE, REPAIR AND RECYCLING
1). It is essential to protect this device against damp, direct sunlight, shock,
and vibrations. This device is not waterproof.
2). Do not keep and do not use the device near heaters or naked flames.
3). Remove the batteries if the device is to be stored for an extended
period of time. Leakage of batteries can cause damage to the device.
Keep the batteries out of reach of children!
4). Keep the device clean and away from dust. Use only a soft, dry cloth
to clean the device.
5). Avoid any contact with water, solvent, alcohol and petrol.
6). Keep the cuff away from sharp objects and do not try to stretch or twist
the cuff.
7). Do not drop or knock the device.
8). Repairs can only be made by the manufacturer.
9). The device should be checked and maintained after 2 years of use.
10.) Neither the device nor the batteries are household waste; follow your
local recycling rules and dispose of them at appropriate collection sites.
11). The Cuff should only be cleaned when necessary. The fabric should
be cleaned with cotton wool and a 3% solution of hydrogen peroxide.

3). The correct measurement of arterial pressure can be difficult in patients
with deep arteriosclerosis, a weak pulse, and in patients with irregular
heart beats. In these situations a qualified healthcare professional should
interpret your blood pressure readings.
4). In order to get accurate
blood pressure readings
patients should be in a
relaxed and quiet state.
The measurement of
blood pressure should
be carried out in a quiet
environment at room temperature. Eating for 1 hour or drinking alcohol
for 1.5-2 hours before the test, smoking, and other activities that affect
blood pressure should be avoided before taking readings.
5). To ensure accurate readings the cuff should be a good fit on the upper
arm. When fitted it should be possible to fit two fingers comfortably
between the arm and the cuff.
6). For accurate blood pressure readings an interval of at least 3 minutes
between readings should be allowed to restore the blood circulation.
Patients suffering from pronounced atherosclerosis, and those who have
suffered from diabetes over an extended period of time, require a longer
time interval between measurements (10-15 minutes) because the elasticity
of the vessels can be decreased significantly by these diseases. For a
more exact determination of blood pressure, take a series of 3 readings
and calculate the average.
