Using sensors with damaged cables can also yield incorrect readings.You should therefore
check each cable before use.
This device can display incorrect readings when near strong electromagnetic fields.
•
These fields are generated by high-frequency surgical equipment or mobile phones, for
example.
This device can display incorrect readings when near computer tomography (CT) scan-
•
ners.
Only use this device with the included accessories and with Riester cuffs and sensors.
•
To ensure precise and safe blood pressure measurement, a cuff of suitable size must be
•
used. The cuff's marking must be within the markers after it has been placed.
Do not apply any pressure on the tube or the cuff while taking the measurement. This
•
could result in incorrect measurements or to the measurement being aborted.
Reading errors can occur during blood pressure measurement in patients who suffer
•
from moderate to severe cardiac arrhythmias.
If continued blood pressure measurements are to be taken from the same patient, then
•
the cuff must be removed between the measurements in order to check the skin under-
neath the cuff for possible ischemia, discolouration and/or neuropathy.
Only use this device together with the included GlobTek GTM 41060-2512 line adapter.
•
To prevent measurement errors, the patient must remain still while the measurement is
•
being taken.
Caution:
The device and the sensor should be cleaned with a soft, clean cloth. Please use ethyl
•
alcohol or isopropyl alcohol for deep cleaning. Other agents, in particular substances
that contain acetone, will damage the housing or the display.
Do not press down on the buttons using hard or sharp objects.
•
Only Riester accessories may be used to operate the device.
•
A function tester cannot be used to test the measuring accuracy of the pulsoximeter or
•
its sensors.
This device is only intended for use by medically trained personnel in accordance with
•
this manual.
Comments:
If the blood pressure cuff is not at heart level, a hydrostatic error of about 0.75 mmHg per
•
centimetre will be produced. If the cuff is lower than heart level, about 0.75 mmHg per
centimetre must be subtracted from the displayed value. If the cuff is higher than heart
level, about 0.75 mmHg per centimetre must be added.
Should this device need to be repaired, please contact Riester directly or contact the de-
