Medisana CardioDock Instruction Manual page 45

• Irregularity of pulse or arrhythmia can lead to difficulties
in recording a correct reading when measurements
are taken using oscillometric blood pressure devices.
This device is electronically equipped to detect
arrhythmia and what are known as movement
artefacts, which it indicates on the display with the
icon . In this case, the reading may be imprecise.
Inform your doctor so that he or she can assess the
situation.
• If you should suffer from conditions such as arterial
occlusive disease, please consult your doctor before
using the unit.
• The unit may not be used to check the heart rate of
patients with a pacemaker.
• Pregnant patients should take their own personal
state of health into consideration and take all
necessary precautions before using the unit. If in
doubt, consult your doctor.
• Should you experience discomfort or other complaints
during measurement, for example pain in the upper
arm, please take the following action: Press the Start
button (Stop) on the CardioDock or the Stop button on
the display to deflate the cuff immediately. Loosen the
cuff and remove it from your arm. Please contact either
your supplier or MEDISANA directly.
• Do not use the cuff on open wounds, in order to
prevent the spread of infection.
• Patients with a weak pulse should raise their arm
and open and close their hand around 10 times
before taking a reading. This exercise optimizes
the pulse and the measuring process.
