CARING MILL BM 31 Manual De Instrucciones página 6

• Do not place the arm cuff over heavy clothing (e.g. a
jacket or sweater sleeve) as the blood pressure monitor
will not be able to take a proper measurement and there
is an elevated danger of acquiring hematoma or skin
marks during the course of the measurement.
• In case the cuff does not stop inflating, interrupt the
measurement by pressing the start/stop button and open
the cuff at once.
• Do not disassemble the unit, it may result in injuries.
• When applying the arm cuff, make sure there are no
wrinkles in the cuff. This could cause bruises.
• Do not exert any kind of pressure on the hose during
measurement, e.g. laying your arms or any other object
on the hose. This could cause incorrect measurements.
• Blood pressure measurements can lead to temporary
marks on the skin at the site of the cuff placement. This is
especially the case in high repetition rates, in hypertonic
patients and in patients with weak pulses. In rare cases
a mark may persist for a couple of days. Please contact
your physician about these specific risks of cuff pressure
in your specific case.
• For hygienic reasons the cuff is intended only for the use
by one person.
• Prolonged overinflation (cuff pressure exceeds 300 mmHg
or maintained above 15mmHg for longer than 3 minutes)
of the bladder may cause ecchymoma of your arm.
