Caution
Self-diagnosis of measurement results and self-treatment are potentially dangerous. You should always
consult your doctor.
People with severe blood flow problems, or blood disorders, should consult a doctor before using the
blood pressure monitor as cuff inflation might cause internal bleeding.
Complicating factors such as common arrhythmias, ventricular premature beats, atrial fibrillation,
arterial sclerosis, poor perfusion, diabetes, age, pregnancy, preeclampsia or renal disease can affect the
performance of the automated sphygmomanometer and/or its blood pressure reading.
If you suffer from an irregular heartbeat, measurements taken with this device should be evaluated with
your doctor.
This device may only be used for the purposes described in this User Guide. The manufacturer cannot be
held liable for damage or injury caused by incorrect use. Always follow the operating procedures
described in this User Guide to measure your blood pressure accurately and safely.
QardioArm is not suitable for checking the frequency of heart pacemakers.
General usage, safety and precautions, cleaning
Do not use the QardioArm blood pressure monitor for any purpose other than measuring blood
pressure.
Do not take measurement immediately after bathing, drinking alcohol, smoking, exercising or eating.
Do not use the QardioArm blood pressure monitor while operating a mechanical vehicle or in a
moving vehicle (e.g. during air travel)
Do not leave the QardioArm blood pressure monitor unattended around children or persons who
cannot express their consent to use.
Do not inflate the arm cuff when it is not wrapped around your arm.

periods of time.
Do not expose the arm cuff and/or the QardioArm blood pressure monitor to water, liquids or
moisture.
Do not expose the arm cuff and/or the QardioArm blood pressure monitor to dust or particulate.
Improper continuous pressure of cuff or too frequent measurements may interfere with blood flow ,
and result harmful injury to the users. Especially, cuff’s inflating pressure on the patients who have
intravascular access or therapy, or an arterio-venous (A-V) shunt, or same side of mastectomy will
have danger on injury.
