Precautions
• When the AC adapter is used, make sure that the AC adapter can be
readily removed from the electrical outlet when necessary.
• Do not modify the monitor. It may cause accidents or damage to the
monitor.
• To measure blood pressure, the arm must be squeezed by the cuff hard
enough to temporarily stop blood flow through the artery. This may cause
pain, numbness or a temporary red mark to the arm. This condition will
appear especially when measurement is repeated successively. Any pain,
numbness, or red marks will disappear with time.
• Do not apply the cuff on an arm in which another medical device is
attached. The equipment may not function properly.
• People who have a severe circulatory deficit in the arm must consult a
doctor before using the monitor, to avoid medical problems.
• Do not self-diagnose the measurement results and start treatment by
yourself. Always consult your doctor for evaluation of the results and
treatment.
• Do not apply the cuff on an arm with an unhealed wound.
• Do not apply the cuff on an arm receiving an intravenous drip or blood
transfusion. It may cause injury or accidents.
• Do not use the monitor where flammable gases such as anesthetic gases
are present. It may cause an explosion.
• Do not use the monitor in highly concentrated oxygen environments, such
as a high-pressure oxygen chamber or an oxygen tent. It may cause a fire
or explosion.
• Take care to avoid accidental strangulation of babies or infants with the
hose and cable.
• Do not twist the air hose during measurement. This may cause injury due
to continuous cuff pressure.
• Wireless communication devices, such as home networking devices,
mobile phones, cordless phones and their base stations, walkie-talkies
can affect this blood pressure monitor. Therefore, a minimum distance of
30 cm (12") should be kept from such devices.
