Caution
General usage
Always consult your doctor. Self-diagnosis of
measurement results and self-treatment are dangerous.
People with severe blood flow problems or blood
disorders should consult a doctor before using the
blood pressure monitor. Cuff inflation can cause
internal bleeding. Operational factors such as common
arrhythmias, ventricular premature beats, arterial
sclerosis, poor perfusion, diabetes, age, pregnancy, pre-
eclampsia or renal disease can affect the performance
of the automated sphygmomanometer and/or its blood
pressure reading. This is a precision measuring device
that may be understood by lay users, but should still be
handled with care. Exposing the device to prolonged
lint, dust or sunlight might reduce its life or damage
it. A damaged cuff or sensor may lead to incorrect
measurements. The USB port should only be used for
recharging the device. The user is an intended operator.
Parts in contact with the skin: cuff. Measurements can be
affected by extreme temperatures, humidity & altitude.
- Do not leave the blood pressure monitor unattended with
infants or people who cannot express their consent.
- Do not use the blood pressure monitor for any purpose
other than measuring blood pressure.
- Do not disassemble the blood pressure monitor.
- Do not operate the blood pressure monitor in a moving
vehicle (car, airplane).
- Do not use the device with the USB cable plugged in.
- Improper continuous pressure of cuff or too-frequent
measurements may interfere with blood flow and result
in injury to the user. Check to ensure that the use of the
device does not result in prolonged impairment of your
blood circulation.
- Do not apply the cuff over the user's arm if it has a wound
or medical treatment, as this can cause further injury.
- Consult your physician before using this monitor if you
have had a mastectomy.
- Use of the device can temporarily cause the loss of
function of equipment that is used simultaneously on the
same limb.
