Notes on Safety
General Advice
• Do not place anything on this monitor.
• Be sure to inspect the monitor before starting and perform regular maintenance inspections to ensure safe and
proper use of the monitor.
• If a measurement error occurs or a result is questionable, use auscultation or other method to check.
- Measured values may be indicated erroneously or measurement may not be possible for a person who has
significant short-term fluctuation of blood pressure such as an irregular pulse.
- For people who have low peripheral blood flow, significantly low blood pressure, or significantly low body
temperature, measurement may not be possible (an error will occur) or the measurement result may not be
reliable due to insufficient blood flow in the measurement location.
- Measurement reliability will decrease if the user moves or speaks during measurement, or the body position is
not correct.
- Measurement reliability will decrease if the arm is compressed because a garment with thick sleeves is worn or
the sleeves are rolled up.
- Measurement reliability will decrease after bathing or showering, drinking an alcoholic beverage, smoking
tobacco, exercising, or eating.
