PRECAUTIONS FOR USE AND MAINTENANCE
Precautions for use
1.
If you suffer from heart disease, high blood pressure or other circulatory disease,
consult your physician before using the monitor.
2.
Inflating to a higher pressure may result in bruising where the cuff is applied.
If the cuff pressure feels abnormal or you experience any other irregularity while
using the cuff, reduce the pressure immediately by pressing the "START/STOP"
switch, detach the cuff or unplug the air hose connector from the monitor and
then consult the sales outlet where you purchased the monitor.
3.
If you think the measurement is abnormal or if measurement makes you feel
unwell, discontinue use and consult your physician.
4.
Blood pressure measurement may not be possible for anyone with a weak pulse
or arrhythmia.
5.
Repeated blood pressure measurement and prolonged overinflation may cause
problems such as congestion or swelling in some people.
6.
Frequently repeated blood pressure measurements will not give accurate
results. Allow an interval of about 1 minute between measurements.
7.
If you suffer from a severe problem with blood circulation in your arms, consult
your physician before using the monitor. Failure to do so could be hazardous to
your health.
8.
Measurement may not be possible for anyone with insufficient blood flow to the
area where measurements will be taken or who suffers from a frequent irregular
heartbeat. Consult your physician for advice on whether to use the monitor.
