3.1 Safety
Danger of unnoticed necrosis especially in patients with

decreased pain sensitivity (due to medication), or with older
patients with decreased blood circulation of the extremities. Only
carry out long-term measurement with these patients under
constant medical supervision.
Possibility of strangulation especially in young or older patients,

patients with reduced mobility, or patients susceptible to
drowsiness due to drugs, etc. The danger increases at night. Only
carry out long-term measurement with these patients under
constant medical supervision.
In some patients petechiae, haemorrhages or subcutaneous

haematomas may occur. All patients must be told when putting on
the cuff that if they experience pain during the recording they
should switch off the equipment and inform the doctor.
The cuff must not be attached to a limb that is already used for

interventions such as:
– infusions
– SpO measurement (loss of data can occur during cuff inflation)
2
– if an arterio-venous shunt is present.
When a five minute measurement interval is defined for recordings

of 24h duration or more, bruising or decreased blood circulation
can occur in the arm. Only carry out recordings with 5 minute
measurement intervals under constant medical supervision.
It must be certain that, according to the health of the patient, the

use of the device will not damage blood circulation in the arm.
