In case the cuff does not stop inflating, interrupt the mea-
surement by pressing the start/stop button and open the
cuff at once.
Do not disassemble the unit, it may result in injuries.
When applying the 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 hypertonic
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 15 mmHg for longer than 3 minutes)
of the bladder may cause ecchymoma of your arm.
Please note that when inflating, the functions of the limb
in question may be impaired.
Do not place the cuff over wounds as this may cause
further injury.
The accuracy of any blood pressure measurement with
this device can be affected by a multitude of causes.
Some can be avoided some have to be accepted at the
time of measurement. Speak with your physician about
possible causes affecting your blood pressure.
