• Do not allow sustained pressure in the cuff or frequent
measurements. The resulting restriction of the blood flow
may cause injury.
• Ensure that the cuff is not placed on an arm in which the
arteries or veins are undergoing medical treatment, e.g.
intravascular access or therapy, or an arteriovenous (AV)
shunt.
• Do not use the cuff on people who have undergone a
mastectomy.
• Do not place the cuff over wounds as this may cause
further injury.
• You can either use the blood pressure monitor with bat-
teries or with a mains part. Please note that data transfer
and data storage is only possible when your blood pres-
sure monitor is supplied with power. As soon as the bat-
teries are empty or the mains part is disconnected from
the power supply, the blood pressure monitor loses the
date and time.
• To conserve the batteries, the monitor switches off auto-
matically if no buttons are pressed for one minute.
• The device is only intended for the purpose described in
these instructions for use. The manufacturer is not liable
for damage resulting from improper or careless use.
storage and Care
• The blood pressure monitor is made up of precision elec-
tronic components. Accuracy of readings and the instru-
ment’s service life depend on careful handling.
– You should protect the device from impact, moisture, dirt,
major temperature fluctuations and direct exposure to the
sun’s rays.
– Never drop the device.
– Do not use near strong electromagnetic fields, i.e. keep it
away from any radio systems and mobile phones.
– Only ever use the cuffs provided with the monitor or origi-
nal replacement cuffs. Otherwise erroneous results will be
recorded.
• Do not press any buttons until the cuff is in position.
• If the instrument is not used for any length of time, we rec-
ommend removing the batteries.
Advice on batteries
• Batteries can be fatal if swallowed. You should therefore
store the batteries and products where they are inacces-
sible to small children. If a battery has been swallowed,
call a doctor immediately.
• Batteries should not be charged or reactivated with any
other means, nor should they be taken apart, thrown in
the fire or short-circuited.
