• During the blood pressure measurement, the blood circula-
tion 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 meas-
urements. The resulting restriction of the blood flow may
cause injury.
• Make sure that the cuff is not placed on an arm in which the
arteries or veins are undergoing medical treatment, e.g. intra-
vascular access or intravascular therapy, or an arteriovenous
(AV) shunt.
• Do not use the cuff on people who have undergone a mas-
tectomy.
• Do not place the cuff over wounds as this may cause fur-
ther injury.
• Place the cuff on your upper arm only. Do not place the cuff
on other parts of the body.
• The blood pressure monitor can only be operated with bat-
teries.
• To conserve the batteries, the blood pressure monitor
switches off automatically if you do not press any buttons for
3 minutes.
