The manufacture of the devices takes place according to the terms of the
European standard for blood-pressure measuring devices (see technical data)
You must consult your specialist dealer or chemist if there are technical
problems with the blood-pressure instrument.
Never attempt to repair the
instrument yourself!
a) Do not expose the device to extreme temperatures, humidity, dust, or direct
sunlight.
b) The cuff contains a sensitive air-tight bubble. Handle it carefully and avoid all
types of straining through twisting or buckling.
c) Clean the device with a soft and a dry cloth. Do not use petrol, thinners, or similar
other solvents. Spots on the cuff can be removed carefully with damp cloth and
soapsuds. The cuff must not be washed!
d) Do not drop the instrument or treat it roughly in any way.
e) Never open the device! Otherwise, the manufacturer calibration becomes
invalid!
Periodical recalibration
Sensitive measuring devices must be checked for accuracy time to time. We
therefore recommend a periodical inspection of the static pressure display every 2
years. Your specialist dealer would be pleased to provide more extensive
information about this.
