Warnings
• Avoid kinking, compression, and moving of the cuff tube during device operation to ensure the safety
of the patient and reliability of the device performance. If the connected tube is kinking, it may cause
continuously elevation of the cuff pressure and interference of the blood flow, then might result in
harmful injury to the PATIENT.
• Overly frequent measurement within a short time (e.g. 5 – 10 minutes) may reduce peripheral perfusion
and cause injury. After a measurement is completed, loosen the cuff and rest the arm for a few minutes
to restore limb perfusion, before taking another measurement.
• Interruption of blood flow during measurement may temporarily affect the operations of other medical
equipment used on the same limb (e.g. pulse oximeter).
• Blood flow of the arm is temporarily interrupted during measurement. Extended interruption of
blood flow reduces peripheral circulation and may cause tissue injury. Beware of signs (e.g. tissue
discoloration) of impeded peripheral circulation if taking measurements continuously or for an
extended period of time.
• Ensure that children do not use the device unsupervised; some parts are small enough to be
swallowed.
• Beware the risk of strangulation by the supplied cable and tubes of the device.
• Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should be avoided because it
could result in improper operation.
• Only activate the pump when the cuff is connected to the device.
Observe the storage and operating conditions as described in the "Technical
Specifications" section of this manual.
