Beurer BM 54 Instrucciones De Uso página 23

• Do not allow sustained pressure in the cuff or frequent
measurements. The resulting restriction of the blood flow may
cause injury.
• Make sure that the cuff is not placed on an arm in which the
arteries or veins are undergoing medical treatment, e.g. intra-
vascular access or intravascular therapy, or an arteriovenous
(AV) shunt.
• Do not use the cuff on people who have undergone a mas-
tectomy.
• Do not place the cuff over wounds as this may cause further
injury.
• Place the cuff on your upper arm only. Do not place the cuff
on other parts of the body.
• Please note that data can only be transferred and stored when
your blood pressure monitor is supplied with power. As soon
as the batteries are empty, the blood pressure monitor loses
the date and time.
• To conserve the batteries, the blood pressure monitor swit-
ches off automatically if you do not press any buttons for 30
seconds.
• The device is only intended for the purpose described in these
instructions for use. The manufacturer is not liable for damage
resulting from improper or incorrect use.
Notes on storage
• The blood pressure monitor is made from precision and elec-
tronic components. The accuracy of the measured values and
service life of the device depend on its careful handling:
— Protect the device from impacts, moisture, dirt, marked
temperature fluctuations and direct sunlight.
— Do not drop the device.
— Do not use the device in the vicinity of strong electroma-
gnetic fields and keep it away from radio systems or mobile
telephones.
— Only use the cuff included with the delivery or original re-
placement cuffs. Otherwise incorrect measured values will
be recorded.
Notes on handling batteries

se the affected area with water and seek medical assistance.
• Choking hazard! Small children may swallow and cho-
ke on batteries. Therefore, store batteries out of the reach of
small children.

• If a battery has leaked, put on protective gloves and clean the
battery compartment with a dry cloth.
• Protect batteries from excessive heat.
• Risk of explosion! Do not throw batteries into a fire.
• Do not charge or short-circuit batteries.
• If the device is not to be used for a relatively long period, take
the batteries out of the battery compartment.
• Use identical or equivalent battery types only.
• Always replace all batteries at the same time.
