CAUTION:
• The device should not be used when your arm has
been wounded/injured or when a catheter has been
inserted. Such use may result in injury.
• Remove any kind of arm jewelry or the like before
taking a measurement. This could cause bruises.
• Do not place the cuff over heavy clothing (e.g. a
jacket or sweater sleeve) as the blood pressure
monitor will not be able to take a proper
measurement and there is an elevated danger
of acquiring hematoma or skin marks during the
course of the measurement.
• In case the cuff does not stop inflating, interrupt
the measurement by pressing the start/stop button

during measurement, e.g. laying your arms or
any other object on the hose. This could cause

may persist for a couple of days. Please contact
your physician about these specific risks of cuff

the use by one person.

300 mmHg or maintained above 15 mmHg for
longer than 3 minutes) of the bladder may cause
ecchymoma of your arm.
