Safety instructions
Warning
Risk of strangulation posed by the shoulder strap and cuff tubing.
•
If the patient has limited cognitive abilities, the device may only be used under supervision.
•
Do not place the shoulder strap and cuff tubing around the patient’s neck.
•
Always place the cuff tubing under the outer clothing (even at night).
•
When used on children, the device must only be applied with special care and under permanent supervision.
•
Instruct the patient to turn off the device, remove the cuff, and notify the doctor if they are experiencing pain,
swelling, redness or numbness in the limb where the cuff is placed. (It is expected that the patient may
experience some mild to moderate discomfort during a blood pressure measurement.)
•
Measurement can be interrupted at any stage by pushing any of the buttons. This automatically deflates the
cuff and the device can be removed.
Warning
Poor circulation caused by continuous cuff pressure.
•
Do not kink the connecting tubing.
•
If the patient has limited cognitive abilities, the device may only be used under supervision.
•
Ensure the correct placement of the shoulder strap and cuff tubing.
•
Always place the cuff tubing under the outer clothing (even at night).
•
When used on children, the device must only be applied with special care and under permanent supervision.
•
Instruct the patient to turn off the device, remove the cuff, and notify the doctor if they are experiencing pain,
swelling, redness or numbness in the limb where the cuff is placed. (It is expected that the patient may
experience some mild to moderate discomfort during a blood pressure measurement.)
Warning
Poor circulation due to overly frequent measurements.
•
Check the date of the last measurement.
•
Inform the patient about this warning.
•
If the patient has limited cognitive abilities, the device may only be used under supervision.
•
Observe the patient closely.
•
Instruct the patient to turn off the device, remove the cuff, and notify the doctor if they are experiencing pain,
swelling, redness or numbness in the limb where the cuff is placed. (It is expected that the patient may
experience some mild to moderate discomfort during a blood pressure measurement.)
Warning
If the patient is wearing an additional ME device on the same limb for monitoring purposes, the placement
and inflation of the cuff may trigger the temporary loss of the existing ME device’s function.
Operation and use of the automated non-invasive blood pressure monitoring device may result in
prolonged impairment to the patient’s circulation or to circulation in the relevant limb.
•
Examine the patient.
•
Question the patient regarding previous treatments.
•
Observe the patient closely.
•
Instruct the patient to turn off the device, remove the cuff, and notify the doctor if they are experiencing pain,
swelling, redness or numbness in the limb where the cuff is placed. (It is expected that the patient may
experience some mild to moderate discomfort during a blood pressure measurement.)

Caution
Risk of injury caused by incorrect application of the cuff.
•
The doctor must ensure that, due to the patient’s medical condition, the use of the device and the cuff does not
result in impaired blood circulation.
•
If the patient has limited cognitive abilities, the device may only be used under supervision.
•
When used on children, the device must only be applied with special care and under permanent supervision.
•
It is imperative that you instruct the patient in the correct seating of the cuff.
•
Inform the patient that the cuff may only be used on the upper arm.
•
Ensure that neither the shoulder strap nor the cuff tubing can ever wrap around the patient’s neck. Always place
the cuff tubing under the outer clothing (even at night).
•
Instruct the patient to place the device in such a way that, while the cuff is inflated, the tubing is not compressed
or kinked, especially during sleep.
•
Petechiae, haemorrhages or subcutaneous haematoma may occur in some patients.
•
Instruct the patient to turn off the device, remove the cuff, and notify the doctor if they are experiencing pain,
swelling, redness or numbness in the limb where the cuff is placed. (It is expected that the patient may
experience some mild to moderate discomfort during a blood pressure measurement.)
Caution
Intolerances caused by the use of disinfectants.
•
Wash to remove residues.
•
Wash the cuff sleeve with a mild detergent in the washing machine at max. 30°C without spinning.
Attention
Damage to device
•
Do not wear the ABPM 7100 while showering. If you suspect that liquid has entered the device while cleaning
or using it, the device shall no longer be used on the patient.
•
In the device was exposed to moisture, switch off the device and remove the batteries.
•
Inform your service immediately and send the device in for inspection.
•
This device should not be used directly adjacent to other devices or stacked with other devices, as this may
result in malfunction. If it is nonetheless necessary to operate the device in the manner described above, you
should observe this and the other devices during use and convince yourself that they are working properly.
•
The device may not be operated around MRI scanners or in the immediate vicinity of other medical electrical
equipment.
•
The device must not be in contact with the patient during a defibrillator discharge. A discharge of this kind may
damage the ABPM 7100 and cause it to display incorrect values.
The cuffs and the tube are made from non-conducting material. They therefore protect the monitor against
the effects of a defibrillator discharge.
•
The ABPM 7100 is not suitable for simultaneous use with HF surgical equipment.
•
Measurement can be interrupted at any stage by pushing a random button. This deflates the cuff and the device
can be removed.
Attention
•
Do not drop the device and do not place objects on top of it.
Attention
Hygiene
•
Ensure hygiene in accordance with the maintenance schedule.
