• Make sure that the cuff is not placed on an arm in which the arteries
or veins are undergoing medical treatment, e.g. intravascular access
or intravascular therapy, or an arteriovenous (AV) shunt.
• Do not use the cuff on people who have undergone a mastectomy.
• Do not place the cuff over wounds as this may cause further injury.
