premature beats or atrial fibrillation, arterial sclerosis, poor perfusion,
diabetes, age, pregnancy, preeclampsia, renal diseases. Motion during
measurement, including trembling or shivering may affect the measure-
ment.
• Though not for use with children under 12, ensure that any children
around this device are supervised; some parts are small enough to be
swallowed and any present tubes or cables may provide a risk of
strangulation.
• Ensure the cuff tubing is not kinked during use as harmful injury may
occur due to the effect of blood flow interference caused by high pressure
in the cuff not releasing.
DO NOT:
Use this device if you think it is damaged or anything appears unusual
(e.g. sporadic operation, open packaging upon purchase).
Use the displayed pulse for checking the frequency of heart pacemakers
as this device is not suitable for this action.
Open/modify this device; inaccuracy and/or harmful injury may result.
Conduct many frequent measurements as this may result in harmful
injury due to blood flow interference.
Place the Cuff over a wound as this may cause additonal injury.
Place and pressurize the Cuff over/near any present intravascular access
or therapy, or arteriovenous shunt, as this may cause blood flow interfer-
ence and result in harmful injury.
Place and pressurize the Cuff over a limb near the side of a mastectomy
as this may cause harmful injury.
Use the Blood Pressure Monitor on a limb simultaneously with other
medical equipment on the same limb due to possible interference with
such medical equipment.
Maintain pressure in the Cuff applied to the limb for a prolonged amount
of time. Ensure that circulation in the limb is not impaired by checking
circulation if prolonged/repeated exposure to pressure occurs.
Service the device when being used or when power is supplied. When
the device is not in use and power is removed, cuff assembly, batteries
and AC adapter (if applicable) may be replaced by the user with
Microlife supplied replacements. No other parts/components are
accessible.
