The cuff must only be used on the upper arm and must never
be used on other limbs.
Taking blood pressure measurements on children requires
specialist knowledge. Consult your doctor if you want to
measure a child's blood pressure. Under no circumstances
must the device be used on an infant.
This blood pressure monitor has been specifically tested for
use during pregnancy and by patients with pre-eclampsia. If
you obtain abnormally high readings during pregnancy, re-
peat the measurement after approximately one hour. If the
readings are still too high, consult your doctor or gynaecol-
ogist.
Do not under any circumstances place the cuff over a criti-
cal area, e.g. a wound, aneurysm, etc. or on an arm with an
arteriovenous shunt. Risk of injury! Any supply via an intra-
vascular access point (infusion) or other medical monitoring
devices could possibly be interrupted.
Do not use the device without first consulting your doctor
if you are having dialysis treatment or are taking anticoag-
ulants, platelet aggregation inhibitors or steroids. These cir-
cumstances may cause internal bleeding.
The display of the pulse frequency is not suitable for checking
the frequency of cardiac pacemakers. Cardiac pacemakers
and blood pressure monitors do not influence each other in
terms of their mode of operation.
Please wait a few minutes between successive measure-
ments, otherwise the blood flow in the arm is interrupted for
too long and injuries could occur.
