• During the blood pressure measurement, blood circu-
lation must not be stopped for an unnecessarily long
time. If the device malfunctions, remove the cuff from
the arm.
• 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 arterio-
venous (AV) shunt.
• Do not use the cuff on people who have undergone a
mastectomy.
• Do not place the cuff over wounds as this may cause
further injury.
• The blood pressure monitor can only be operated with
batteries.
• To conserve the batteries, the monitor switches off
automatically if no buttons are pressed for one minute.
• 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 careless
use.
Storage and Care
• The blood pressure monitor is made up of precision
electronic components. Accuracy of readings and the
instrument's service life depend on careful hand ling.
– You should protect the device from impact, moisture,
dirt, major temperature fluctuations and direct expo-
sure to the sun's rays.
– Never drop the device.
– Do not use near strong electromagnetic fields, i.e.
keep it away from any radio systems and mobile
phones.
– Only ever use the cuffs provided with the monitor
or original replacement cuffs. Otherwise erroneous
results will be recorded.
• Do not press any buttons until the cuff is in position.
• If the instrument is not used for any length of time, we
recommend removing the batteries.
Advice on batteries
• Batteries can be fatal if swallowed. You should there-
fore store the batteries and products where they are
inaccessible to small children. If a battery has been
swallowed, call a doctor immediately.
• Batteries should not be charged or reactivated with
any other means, nor should they be taken apart,
thrown in the fire or short-circuited.
