INTRODUCTION
CAUTION
* When using this device, please pay attention to the following situation which may interrupt
blood flow and influence blood circulation of the patient, thus cause harmful injury to the
patient: connection tubing kinking too frequent and consecutive multiple measurements; the
application of the cuff and its pressurization on any arm where intravascular access or
therapy, or an arterio-venous (A-V) shunt, is present; inflating the cuff on the side of a
mastectomy.
* Warning: Do not apply the cuff over a wound;otherwise it can cause further injury.
*Do not inflate the cuff on the same limb which other monitoring ME equipment is applied
around simultaneously, because this could cause temporary loss of function of those
simultaneously-used monitoring ME equipment.
*On the rare occasion of a fault causing the cuff to remain fully inflated during measurement,
open the cuff immediately. Prolonged high pressure (cuff pressure ＞ 300mmHg or constant
pressure ＞ 15mmHg for more than 3 minutes) applied to the arm may lead to an
ecchymosis.
*Please check that operation of the device does not result in prolonged impairment of patient
blood circulation.
* When measurement, please avoid compression or restriction of the connection tubing.
CAUTION
* The device cannot be used with HF surgical equipment at the same time.
* The ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENT shall disclose that the SPHYGMOMANOMETER was
clinically investigated according to the requirements of ISO 81060-2:2018.
* To verify the calibration of the AUTOMATED SPHYGMOMANOMETER, please contact the
manufacturer.
* This device is contraindicated for any female who may be suspected of, or is pregnant.
Besides providing inaccurate readings, the effects of this device on the fetus are unknown.
* Too frequent and consecutive measurements could cause disturbances in blood circulation
and injuries.

CAUTION
device and its accessories according to the user manual.
* To avoid measurement errors, please avoid the condition of strong electromagnetic field
radiated interference signal or electrical fast transient/burst signal.
* The blood pressure monitor, and the cuff are suitable for use within the patient
environment. If you are allergic to polyester, nylon or plastic, please don't use this device.
* During use, the patient will be in contact with the cuff. The materials of the cuff have been
tested and found to comply with requirements of ISO 10993-5:2009 and ISO 10993-10:2010.
It will not cause any potential sensation or irritation reaction.
* Adaptor is specified as a part of ME EQUIPMENT.
* If you experience discomfort during a measurement, such as pain in the arm or other
complaints, press any button to release the air immediately from the cuff. Loosen the cuff
and remove it from your arm.
* If the cuff pressure reaches 40 kPa (300 mmHg), the unit will automatically deflate. Should
the cuff not deflate when pressure reaches 40 kPa (300 mmHg), detach the cuff from the
arm and press any button to stop inflation.
* Before use, make sure the device functions safely and is in proper working condition.
Check the device, do not use the device if it is damaged in any way. The continuous use of a
damaged unit may cause injury, improper results, or serious danger.
* Do not wash the cuff in a washing machine or dishwasher!
CAUTION
* The service life of the cuff may vary by the frequency of washing, skin condition, and
storage state. The typical service life is 10000 times.
* It is recommended that the performance should be checked every 2 years and after
maintenance and repair, by retesting at least the requirements in limits of the error of the
cuff pressure indication and air leakage (testing at least at 50mmHg and 200mmHg).
* Please dispose of ACCESSORIES, detachable parts, and the ME EQUIPMENT according
to the local guidelines.
* Manufacturer will make available on request circuit diagrams, component part lists,
descriptions, calibration instructions,etc., to assist to service personnel in parts repair.
* The plug/adapter plug pins insulate the device from the main supply. Do not position the
