device. Supervise children around the device to ensure they
do not play with it.
• The blood pressure monitor must not be used in connection
with a high-frequency surgical unit.
• Only use the device on people who have the specified upper
arm 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.
• 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 ar-
teries or veins are undergoing medical treatment, e.g. intravas-
cular access or intravascular therapy, or an arteriovenous (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 upper arm only. Do not place the cuff
on other parts of the body.
• Please note that data transfer and data storage is only possi-
ble when your blood pressure monitor is supplied with pow-
er. As soon as the batteries are empty, the blood pressure
monitor loses the date and time.
• To conserve the batteries, the blood pressure monitor
switches off automatically if you do not press any buttons for
30 seconds.
• 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.
– Only use the cuff included with the delivery or original re-
placement parts. Otherwise incorrect measured values will be
recorded.
• If the instrument is not used for any length of time, we
recommend removing the batteries.
Notes on handling batteries
• If your skin or eyes come into contact with battery fluid, flush
out the affected areas with water and seek medical assis-
tance.
• Choking hazard! Small children may swallow and
choke on batteries. Store the batteries out of the reach of
small children.
