Intended use
A
The device is designed for the non-invasive measurement of
systolic and diastolic blood pressure, the determination of pulse
rate and the calculation of pulse pressure for persons aged 12
or over.
• Taking blood pressure measurements on children requires
specialist knowledge. Consult your doctor if you want to
measure a child’s blood pressure. Under no circumstances
must the device be used on an infant.
• During pregnancy and in cases of pre-eclampsia, the device
may only be used after consulting your doctor.
• Do not under any circumstances place the cuff over a critical
area, e.g. a wound, aneurysm, etc. or on an arm with an
arteriovenous shunt. Risk of injury! Any supply via an intra-
vascular access point (infusion) or other medical monitoring
devices could possibly be interrupted.
• Do not use the device without first consulting your doctor
if you are having dialysis treatment or are taking anticoag-
ulants, platelet aggregation inhibitors or steroids. These
circumstances may cause internal bleeding.
• The display of the pulse frequency is not suitable for check-
ing the frequency of cardiac pacemakers. Cardiac pace-
makers and blood pressure monitors do not influence each
other in terms of their mode of operation.
• The device is not suitable for use with electrosurgical devices.
• Do not use the device in explosive environments such as
in the vicinity of flammable anaesthetics or in an oxygen
chamber.
The device uses the oscillometric method for blood pressure
and pulse measurement. The cuff is connected to the device and
then placed on the arm. A sensor measures the small pressure
oscillations generated by the expansion and retraction of the ar-
teries with each heartbeat. The amplitude of the pressure waves
is measured in millimetres of mercury (mmHg) and shown in the
display as a digital value.
1. Important patient information
• Ensure that the air hose is not kinked. A kinked air hose may
prevent the cuff from deflating, thus interrupting the blood
flow in the arm for too long.
• Please wait a few minutes between successive measure-
ments, otherwise the blood flow in the arm is interrupted for
