• 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. in-
travascular 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.
• Please note that data transfer and data storage is only pos-
sible when your blood pressure monitor is supplied with
power. As soon as the battery is empty, the blood pressure
monitor loses the date and time setting.
• To conserve the battery, the blood pressure monitor switches
off automatically if you do not press any buttons for 3 minutes.
• 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.
