sure, diabetes, circulatory disorders and arrhythmias as
well as chills or shaking.
• The blood pressure monitor must not be used in con-
nection with a high-frequency surgical unit.
• Only use the device on people who have the specified
upper arm measurement for the device.
• Please note that when inflating, the functions of the
limb in question may be impaired.
• 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.
• Avoid any mechanical restriction, compression or
bending of the cuff line.
• 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 arteriovenous
(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.
• As soon as the batteries are empty the blood pressure
monitor loses the date and time.
• 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.

BATTERY HANDLING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:

• Use only the size and type of batteries specified.
• Be sure to follow the correct polarity when installing
the batteries. Reversed batteries may cause damage
to the device.
• Do not mix different types of batteries together (e.g.
Alkaline and Carbon-zinc or rechargeable batteries) or
old batteries with fresh ones. Always replace batteries
as a simultaneous set.
• If the batteries in the device are depleted or the device
will not be used for a long period of time, remove the
batteries to prevent damage or injury from possible bat-
tery leakage.
• Do not try to recharge batteries not intended to be
recharged; they can overheat and rupture (follow bat-
tery manufacturer's directions.)
• Do not dispose of batteries in fire, batteries may
explode or leak.
• Clean the battery contacts and also those of the device
prior to battery installation.
