13 - Preparing the ABPM 7100
Warning
The equipment must not be used in the vicinity of an MRI scanner!
Caution
Risk of injury caused by incorrect application of the device.

The doctor must ensure that, due to the patient's medical condition, the use of the device and the cuff
does not result in impaired blood circulation.
 If the patient has limited cognitive abilities, the device may only be used under supervision.

When used on children, the device must only be applied with special care and under permanent
supervision.
 While it is still attached to a patient, the device may never be connected to a PC or other device.

Instruct the patient to place the device in such a way that, while the cuff is inflated, the tubing is not
compressed or kinked, especially during sleep.

Petechiae, haemorrhages or subcutaneous haematoma may occur in some patients.

Instruct the patient to turn off the device, remove the cuff, and notify the doctor if they are experiencing
pain, swelling, redness or numbness in the limb where the cuff is placed. (It is expected that the patient
may experience some mild to moderate discomfort during a blood pressure measurement.)

Inserting the batteries

Attention
Device function

Although zinc-carbon batteries may indicate sufficient voltage during a battery test, their output is
frequently insufficient to perform 24-hour measurements. Ensure sufficient battery voltage. At least 2.6
volts for NiMH batteries and at least 3.10 volts for alkaline batteries!
Attention
Damage to device

Do not open the casing. Once the device is opened, all warranties will lapse.
Open the batteries compartment on the rear of the ABPM 7100 casing to insert the batteries into the ABPM
7100 according to the battery polarities (+ / -) and close the compartment.

Note Always use fully charged batteries for a new measurement

Only use undamaged batteries

Please remove the batteries if the device has not been used for a longer period

When inserting the batteries, please ensure correct polarity
Attention
Internal memory battery
 If after changing the external battery the display shows "rEboot", the internal memory battery may be
empty. Please contact your dealer.

Activating the device

Attention
Damage to device

Do not wear the ABPM 7100 while showering. If you suspect that liquid has entered the device while
cleaning or using it, the device shall no longer be used on the patient.
 If the device was exposed to moisture, switch off the device and remove the batteries.

Inform your service immediately and send the device in for inspection.

The device may not be operated around MRI scanners or in the immediate vicinity of other medical
electrical equipment.

During a defibrillator discharge, the device shall not be in contact with the patient. Such a discharge
may damage the ABPM 7100 and cause it to display incorrect values.

This device should not be used directly adjacent to other devices or stacked with other devices, as
this may result in malfunction. If it is nonetheless necessary to operate the device in the manner
described above, you should observe this and the other devices during use and convince yourself
that they are working properly.

The ABPM 7100 is not suitable for simultaneous use with HF surgical equipment.

Measurement can be interrupted at any stage by pushing a random button. This deflates the cuff and
the device can be removed.
