Positioning Cuff - Beurer BC 44 Instruction Manual

WARNING:
• 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.
• Do not measure your blood pressure while operating
a vehicle or in any situation which requires your full
attention.
CAUTION:
• The device should not be used when your arm/wrist has
been wounded/injuried or when a catheter has been in-
serted. Such use may result in injury.
• Remove any kind of wrist jewelry or the like before tak-
ing a measurement. This could cause bruises.
• Do not place the wrist 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
open the cuff at once.
• Blood pressure measurements can lead to temporary
marks on the skin at the site of the cuff placement. This
is especially the case in high repetition rates, in hyper-
tonic patients and in patients with weak pulses. In rare
cases a mark may persist for a couple of days. Please
contact your physician about these specific risks of cuff
pressure in your specific case.
• For hygienic reasons the cuff is intended only for the
use by one person.

the arm is not restricted by tight clothing or other objects
that are too tight. Position the cuff on the inside of your
wrist. Do not place the wrist cuff over heavy clothing (e.g.
a jacket or sweater sleeve) as the blood pressure monitor
and
will not be able to take a proper measurement.
