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 elec-
tronic components. Accuracy of readings and the instru-
ment's service life depend on careful hand ling.
– You should protect the device from impact, mois-
ture, dirt, major temperature fluctuations and direct
exposure 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.
• 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.
• Remove the batteries from the instrument if they are
worn out or if you are not going to use the instrument
for any length of time. This prevents any damage as a
result of leakage. Always replace all the batteries at the
same time.
• Never use different types of battery, battery brands or
batteries with different capacities. You should prefer-
ably use alkaline batteries.
