Directions for use Introduction 5
Warning Patient injury risk. If you experience discomfort during a
measurement, such as pain in the arm, press the Power button
immediately to release the air from the cuff. Loosen and remove the cuff
from your arm.
Warning Patient injury risk. On the rare occasion of a fault causing the cuff
to remain fully inflated during measurement, open the cuff immediately.
Prolonged high pressure applied to the arm (cuff pressure >300mmHg or
constant pressure >15mmHg for more than 3 minutes) might lead to
bruising and discolored skin.
Warning Patient injury risk. This unit is not suitable for continuous
monitoring during medical emergencies or operations.
Warning Patient injury risk. Taking blood pressure measurements too
frequently could disrupt blood circulation and cause injuries.
Warning Patient injury risk. Do not kink the connection tube during use.
The cuff pressure might continuously increase, which could prevent blood
flow and result in injury.
Warning Patient injury risk. Never apply the cuff over damaged skin. This
can cause further injury.
Warning Patient injury risk. Do not touch the batteries/adapter output and
the patient simultaneously.
Warning Patient injury risk. Do not use the unit if you are allergic to
polyester or synthetic materials.
Warning Patient injury risk. Excessive tube lengths could cause
strangulation if you don't manage them properly.
Warning Patient injury risk. Do not connect the air tube to other medical
equipment. This could cause air to be pumped into intravascular systems or
high pressure, which could lead to serious injuries.
Warning Patient injury risk. Dispose of accessories, detachable parts, and
the device according to the local guidelines.
Warning Patient injury risk. Do not service or perform any maintenance
while using the device.
Warning Patient injury risk. Use only accessories approved by the
manufacturer. Using unapproved accessories might cause damage to the
unit and injure patients.
Warning Patient injury risk. No modification to this equipment is allowed.
Modifying the equipment could damage the unit or endanger the user.
CAUTION This device is intended for non-invasive measuring and
monitoring of arterial blood pressure. It is not intended for use on
extremities other than the arm or for purposes other than obtaining a blood
pressure measurement.
CAUTION Do not wrap the cuff on the same arm to which another
monitoring device is applied. One or both devices could temporarily stop
functioning if you try to use them on the same arm at the same time.
