• 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.
NOTICE – To reduce the risk of product/property
damage:
• The blood pressure monitor is made up of precision
electronic components. Accuracy of readings and the
instrument's service life depend on careful handling.
Protect the unit against hard knocks (e.g. dropping
the unit), moisture, water, dirt, dust, chemicals,
extreme hot or cold temperatures, major temperature
fluctuations, direct exposure to sunlight and heat
sources which are too close (e.g. stoves, heating
radiators). This may damage the unit. The device must
be stored in the specified ambient conditions. Please
see section "9. Care and Maintenance" and section
"11. Specifications" for details.
• Do not use any aggressive solvents, cleaning agents,
detergents or any other strong chemicals to clean the
device.
• Never immerse and or spill water or any other liquid
onto the monitor or any components, otherwise liquid
will enter it and cause damage.
• Do not wash the unit in a washing machine, dish
washer or tumble dryer. Observe the local regulations
for material disposal. Dispose of the device,
components and optional accessories according to
applicable local regulations. Unlawful disposal may
cause environmental pollution.
• Never attempt to repair, open and/or disassemble
the unit (including arm cuff and optional accessory)
or adjust it yourself. This may damage the unit and
impair the functions. If you need to have the unit
repaired, please contact our customer service. Please
see warranty for service contact. Before submitting
any complaint, first check the batteries and replace
them if necessary.
