Caution
General usage
Always consult your doctor if you believe you have a
blood pressure disorder. Attempting to diagnose and treat
disorders yourself may be dangerous. People with severe
blood flow problems, or blood disorders, should consult
a doctor before using the blood pressure monitor. Cuff
inflation may cause internal bleeding. Operational factors
such as common arrhythmias, ventricular premature beats,
arterial sclerosis, poor perfusion, diabetes, age, pregnancy,
pre-eclampsia or renal disease can affect the performance
of the automated sphygmomanometer and/or its blood
pressure reading. BPM Core is a precision measuring device
designed to be understood by lay user but it should still
be handled with care. Exposing the device to lint, dust or
sunlight for a long period of time may reduce its lifetime or
damage it. A damaged cuff or sensor may lead to incorrect
measurements. No usage for USB port. This device is
intended for home use and is not to be used in a clinical
setting. The cuff and electrodes will come into contact
with the skin. Measurements can be affected by extreme
temperatures, humidity and altitude. Always use the device
in a calm and quiet environment. Do not leave the blood
pressure monitor unattended with infants or persons
who cannot express their consent. Do not use the blood
pressure monitor for any purpose other than measuring
blood pressure. Do not disassemble the blood pressure
monitor. Do not operate the blood pressure monitor in a
moving vehicle such as a car or an airplane. Do not use
a cellular phone near the device. Do not use the device
with the USB cable plugged. Using the cuff continuously
or taking measurements too frequently may interfere with
blood flow and result in injury to the user. Do not apply
the cuff if the arm has a wound or is undergoing medical
treatment, as this can cause further injury. The cuff should
be used on the arm on the side of a mastectomy. Use of
the device with other equipment on the same limb may
cause damage to the device or other equipment. Do not
use if you have a congenital cardiomyopathy, aorto-venous
fistula, pulmonary pathology, a prosthetic heart valve, or if
you are on kidney dialysis or if you are hemodynamically
unstable. Following REACH Regulation 1907/2006, there is
an open risk on Plomb, PZT, DEHP, DBP, SCCP's and D6.
