Beurer BM 76 Instructions For Use Manual page 7

• Do not drape tube around neck. This presents a
strangulation hazard.
• People with disabilities, activity limitations, or who
are physically frail, should be assisted by another
person when using this unit.
• Proper cuff size is important for accurate
measurements. Only use the device on adults
who have the right upper arm circumference
for this instrument. See section '12. Technical
Specifications' for suitable upper arm
circumferences.
• Do not use any cuffs, tubes, parts and accessories
other than those explicitly recommended by the
manufacturer for use with this product. Parts and
accessories not approved for use with the device
may cause damage to your health and to the
product.
• Electromagnetic interference: Avoid strong
electrical or electromagnetic fields in the direct
vicinity of the device (e.g. mobile telephones,
microwave ovens) while it is in operation, as
inaccurate measurements may result. To prevent
such interference, use the unit at a sufficient
distance from such devices or turn the devices off.
• The blood pressure monitor must not be used in
connection with a high-frequency surgical unit.
• Do not measure your blood pressure while operating
a vehicle or in any situation which requires your full
attention.
• During the blood pressure measurement, blood
circulation must not be stopped for an unnecessarily
long time. If the device malfunctions, remove the
cuff from the arm.
• Avoid any mechanical restriction, compression or
bending of the cuff line.
• Do not allow sustained pressure in the cuff or
frequent measurements. The resulting restriction
of the blood flow may cause injury.
• Ensure that the cuff is not placed on an arm in
which the arteries or veins are undergoing medical
treatment, e.g. intravascular access or therapy, or
an arteriovenous (AV) shunt.
• Do not use the cuff on people who have undergone
a mastectomy.
