Beurer BM 45 Instructions For Use Manual page 17

• During the blood pressure measurement, blood circulation
must not be stopped for an unnecessarily long time. If the
device malfunctions, remove the cuff from the arm.
• Avoid any mechanical restriction, compression or bending of
the cuff line.
• Do not allow sustained pressure in the cuff or frequent meas-
urements. 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 undergoing medical treatment, e.g. intra-
vascular access or therapy, or an arteriovenous (AV) shunt.
• Do not use the cuff on people who have undergone a mas-
tectomy.
• Do not place the cuff over wounds as this may cause further
injury.
• Place the cuff on your wrist only. Do not place the cuff on
other parts of the body.
• You can either use the blood pressure monitor with batteries
or with a mains part. Please note that data transfer and data
storage is only possible when your blood pressure monitor is
supplied with power. As soon as the batteries are empty or
the mains part is disconnected from the power supply, the
blood pressure monitor loses the date and time.
• To conserve the batteries, the monitor switches off automati-
cally 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 electron-
ic 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 systems and mobile phones.
– Only ever use the cuffs provided with the monitor or origi-
nal replacement cuffs. Otherwise erroneous results will be
recorded.
• If the instrument is not used for any length of time, we
recommend removing the batteries.
Notes on handling batteries
• If your skin or eyes come into contact with battery fluid, flush
out the affected areas with water and seek medical assistance.
• Choking hazard! Small children may swallow and choke
on batteries. Store the batteries out of the reach of small
children.
• Observe the plus (+) and minus (-) polarity signs.
• If a battery has leaked, put on protective gloves and clean
the battery compartment with a dry cloth.
• Protect the batteries from excessive heat.
• Risk of explosion! Never throw batteries into a fire.
• Do not charge or short-circuit batteries.
