Warning
If the patient is wearing an additional ME device on the same limb for monitoring purposes, the
placement and inflation of the cuff may trigger the temporary loss of the existing ME device's
function.
Operation and use of the automated non-invasive blood pressure monitoring device may result in
prolonged impairment to the patient's circulation or to circulation in the relevant limb.

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.

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.)
Caution
Intolerances caused by the use of disinfectants.

Wash to remove residues.
 Wash the cuff sleeve with a mild detergent in the washing machine at max. 30°C without spinning.
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.

In 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.

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 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.

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.
Attention
Hygiene
