Beurer BM 47 Instruction Manual page 6

• When applying the arm cuff, make sure there are no
wrinkles in the cuff. This could cause bruises.
• Do not exert any kind of pressure on the hose during
measurement, e.g. laying your arms or any other object
on the hose. This could cause incorrect measurements.
• Blood pressure measurements can lead to temporary
marks on the skin at the site of the cuff placement. This
is especially the case in high repetition rates, in hyper-
tonic patients and in patients with weak pulses. In rare
cases a mark may persist for a couple of days. Please
contact your physician about these specific risks of cuff
pressure in your specific case.
• For hygienic reasons the cuff is intended only for the
use by one person.
• Prolonged over-inflation (cuff pressure exceeds 300
mmHg or maintained above 15mmHg for longer than
3 minutes) of the bladder may cause ecchymoma of
your arm.
