The device may only be used at the wrist and not on any other
extremities.
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.
During pregnancy and in cases of pre-eclampsia, the device
may only be used after consulting your doctor.
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 device is not an instrument for the diagnosis of atrial
flutter or atrial fibrillation. It shows only the possibility of the
presence of such a condition. If the display indicating a cardi-
ac arrhythmia appears (see page 51), it is essential to discuss
this with your doctor.
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.
The device is not suitable for use in close proximity to electro-
surgical instruments or magnetic resonance imaging equip-
ment.
