Safety Instructions - CAPTELEC BLUE PRESSURE Manual

T 1003 / XY-B03
Warning: Please read this instruction manual carefully before using the instrument and keep it for future use.
A. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
₋ The device is intended exclusively for private and not for commercial use. Only use this device as describe in this instruction
manual.
₋ Do not place any part of this appliance in water or any other liquid.
₋ Keep it away from heat sources such as radiators, to avoid deformation of plastic parts.
₋ This device is intended for adult use in homes only.
₋ The device is not suitable for use on neonatal patients, pregnant women, patients with implanted, electronical devices,
patients with pre-eclampsia, premature ventricular beats, atrial fibrillation, peripheral, arterial disease and patients
undergoing intravascular therapy or arterio-venous shunt or people who received a mastectomy. Please consult your doctor
prior to using the unit if you suffer from illnesses.
₋ The device is not suitable for measuring the blood pressure of children. Ask your doctor before using it on older children.
₋ The device is not intended for patient transport outside a healthcare facility.
₋ This device is intended for no-invasive measuring and monitoring of arterial blood pressure. It is not intended for use on
extremities other than the wrist or for functions other than obtaining a blood pressure measurement.
₋ Do not confuse self-monitoring with self-diagnosis. This unit allows you to monitor your blood pressure. Do not begin or
end medical treatment without asking a physician for treatment advice.
₋ If you are taking medication, consult your physician to determine the most appropriate time to measure your blood
pressure. Never change a prescribed medication without consulting your physician.
₋ Do not take any therapeutic measures on the basis of a self-measurement. Never alter the dose of a medicine prescribed
by a doctor. Consult your doctor if you have any question about your blood pressure.
₋ When the device was used to measure patients who have common arrhythmias such as atrial or ventricular premature
beats or atrial fibrillation, the best result may occur with deviation. Please consult your physician about the result.
₋ 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 wrist 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 ģ 15mmHg for more than 3 minutes) applied to
the wrist 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.
₋ The device cannot be used with HF surgical equipment at the same time.
₋ 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.
₋ This unit is not suitable for continuous monitoring during medical emergencies or operations. Otherwise, the patient's
wrist and fingers will become anaesthetic, swollen and even purple due to a lack of blood.
