• Only use the device on people who have the specified wrist
measurement for the device.
• Please note that when inflating, the functions of the limb in
question may be impaired.
• 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.
• 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 or therapy, or an arterio-
venous (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 further
injury.
• Place the cuff on your wrist 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
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.
Instructions for storage and maintenance
• The blood pressure monitor is made from precision and elec-
tronic components. The accuracy of the measured values
and service life of the device depend on its careful handling:
– Protect the device from impacts, humidity, dirt, marked
temperature fluctuations and direct sunlight.
– Do not drop the device.
– Do not use the device in the vicinity of strong electromag-
netic fields and keep it away from radio systems or mobile
telephones.
• We recommend that the batteries be removed if the device
will not be used for a prolonged period of time.
Notes on handling batteries

the affected areas with water and seek medical assistance.
• Choking hazard! Small children may swallow and choke
on batteries. Store the batteries out of the reach of small chil-
dren.
• Observe the plus (+) and minus (-) polarity signs.
• If a battery has leaked, put on protective gloves and clean the
battery compartment with a dry cloth.
