• 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 undergo -
ing 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.
• The blood pressure monitor can only be operated with batteries.
• To conserve the batteries, the monitor switches off automatically if no buttons are
pressed for 3 minutes.
• 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 electronic components. Accuracy
of readings and the instrument’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 sys
-
tems and mobile phones.
– Only ever use the cuffs provided with the monitor or original 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 recommend removing the
batteries.
Advice on batteries
• Batteries can be fatal if swallowed. You should therefore store the batteries and prod -
ucts where they are inaccessible 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.
• Remove the batteries from the instrument if they are worn out or if you are not going
to use the instrument for any length of time. This prevents any damage as a result of
leakage. Always replace all the batteries at the same time.
• Never use different types of battery, battery brands or batteries with different capaci -
ties. You should preferably use alkaline batteries.
