Important instructions for use
Only use the device to take blood pressure measurements on the
upper arm. Do not place the cuff on other areas of the body.
Use only the supplied cuff or an original replacement cuff. The
measured values may otherwise be incorrect.
Only use the device on persons whose upper arm circumference is
within the range indicated for the device.
If measured values are questionable, repeat the measurement.
Do not leave the device unattended near small children or persons
who cannot operate it themselves. There is a risk of strangulation
if the cuff tube becomes wrapped around the neck.
Swallowing small parts that have detached from the device can
also result in suffocation.
Do not under any circumstances carry out blood pressure measure-
ments on newborns, babies or toddlers.
Please do not place the cuff over a wound as this may cause
further injuries.
Do not place the cuff on persons who have had a mastectomy.
Please note that the pressure build-up in the cuff can lead to tem-
porary disruption of medical devices being used at the same time
on the same arm.
Do not use the blood pressure monitor together with a high fre-
quency surgical device.
If an intravenous treatment is being carried out or a venous
catheter is inserted in the arm, blood pressure measurements can
lead to injuries. Never use the cuff on the arm to which these
conditions apply.
The function of the arm on which the cuff is placed may become
impaired during inflation.
If you are carrying out the measurement on another person, please
ensure that using the blood pressure monitor does not have a
lasting negative effect on the blood circulation.
Taking measurements too often within a short time period as well
as maintaining continuous cuff pressure can disrupt the blood
circulation and cause injuries. Please take a break between mea-
surements and do not bend or fold the air tube. If the monitor
malfunctions, remove the cuff from the arm.
Do not use the blood pressure monitor on patients with
pre-eclampsia during pregnancy.
