Place and pressurize the Cuff over/near any present intravascular access or

therapy, or arteriovenous shunt, as this may cause blood flow interference 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, batteries may be replaced by the user. No
other parts/components are accessible.
CAUTION – Potentially hazardous situation that if not
avoided may result in minor/moderate injury, property damage,
and/or damage to the device
This device contains sensitive electronics components. Avoid strong electrical or

electromagnetic fields in the direct vicinity of the device (e.g., mobile telephones,
microwave ovens). These can lead to temporary impairment of the measuring
accuracy. Move the device to another location if interference is determined.
When not using the Blood Pressure Monitor for extended lengths of time, remove

the batteries to avoid potential battery leakage and damage to the monitor.
When replacing the batteries, ensure all the batteries are replaced

simultaneously to avoid battery damage and potential damage to the monitor.
Microlife USA does not recommend using rechargeable batteries.
To avoid inaccurate measurements and to lessen any discomfort from Cuff

pressure, ensure the Cuff is placed correctly on the limb and fits correctly when
snug (not tight), as indicated by markings with the Cuff.
Consult your physician in cases of frequent irregular heartbeat detections.

This Risk Indicator feature is provided in order to help you understand your

