1. Important instructions for patients
•
Blood pressure measurements on children require specialist knowledge!
Please consult your doctor if you wish to measure the blood pressure of a
child. Do not under any circumstances use the unit on a baby/infant.
•
The cuff has been specially developed for this unit and must not be used with
other units. It is designed for an upper arm circumference of 23-43 cm.
•
The measurement results of automatically measuring blood pressure monitors
may be falsified by pregnancy, irregular heartbeat or arteriosclerosis. Measure
your own blood pressure in consultation with your doctor.
•
Make sure the air hose is not kinked. A kinked air hose can prevent the cuff
from deflating and thereby interrupt the blood flow in the arm for too long.
•
Do not under any circumstances place the cuff on or over any critical point,
e.g. wound, aneurysm, etc. Risk of injuries! The supply via an intravascular ac-
cess (infusion) or other medical monitoring devices might be interrupted.
•
The unit contains small parts which could be swallowed by children. It should
therefore be kept out of the reach of children at all times. The airhose poses a
risk of strangulation. Please follow instructions regarding the handling of cuff
to avoid such risk.
•
Do not use the unit without first consulting your doctor if you are undergoing
dialysis treatment or taking anticoagulants, platelet aggregation inhibitors or
steroids. Internal bleeding may be caused under these conditions.
•
If you have had a mastectomy, do not measure blood pressure on the side of
the body where the breast has been removed together with the lymph nodes
from the armpit.
•
The unit must only be operated with original parts. The warranty will be invali-
dated if the unit is damaged by non-approved accessories!
•
Using the unit in the immediate vicinity of mobile phones, microwave ap-
pliances or other devices with strong electromagnetic fields may result in
impaired functioning. Maintain a minimum distance of 3 m from such devices
when using this unit.
•
The display of the pulse frequency is not suitable for checking the frequency
of cardiac pacemakers. Cardiac pacemakers and blood pressure monitors do
not influence each other in their mode of operation.
2. Important technical details
•
A consistently good power supply to the unit is essential for trouble-free
blood pressure measurements.
– Please use long-life alkaline batteries only (LR6).
– When replacing batteries, always replace all the batteries at the same time.
– You will need 4 x 1.5 V AA/LR6 batteries. Rechargeable batteries have a
voltage of only 1.2 V and are thus not suitable.
– When using the unit with a mains adapter, please use only the type A1
mains adapter specially tested for medical devices.
– Make sure when operating the unit with the mains adapter that the unit
can be disconnected from the mains power supply at all times.
– If the unit is not used for an extended period of time, please remove the
batteries. Essentially, all batteries can leak.
•
If the unit has been stored at temperatures below 0 °C, let it stand at room
temperature for at least 1 hour before use.
•
Measuring your own blood pressure does not constitute treatment. On no ac-
count modify of your own accord the dosage of drugs/medication prescribed
by your doctor.
•
Please refer to the chapter “Important instructions for use” (Page EN-55) be-
fore conducting any measurements yourself.
