Do not use the blood pressure monitor on newborns or pa-
tients with preeclampsia. We recommend consulting a doctor
before using the blood pressure monitor during pregnancy.
•
In the case of restricted circulation on the arm as a result of
chronic or acute vascular diseases (including vascular con-
striction), the accuracy of the wrist measurement is limited.
In this case you should avoid using an upper arm blood
pressure monitor.
•
This device is not intended for use by people (including
children) with restricted physical, sensory or mental skills
or a lack of experience and/or a lack of knowledge, unless
they are supervised by a person who is responsible for their
safety or are instructed by such a person in how to use the
device. Supervise children around the device to ensure they
do not play with it.
•
Cardiovascular diseases may lead to incorrect measurements
or have a detrimental effect on measurement accuracy. The
same also applies to very low blood pressure, diabetes, circu-
latory disorders and arrhythmias as well as chills or shaking.
•
The blood pressure monitor must not be used in connection
with a high-frequency surgical unit.
•
Only use the unit on people who have the specified wrist
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.
•
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
arteries or veins are undergoing medical treatment, e.g. intra-
vascular 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 wrist only. Do not place the cuff on
other parts of the body.
•
The blood pressure monitor can only be operated with bat-
teries.
•
If you do not press any buttons within 30 seconds, the blood
pressure monitor switches off automatically to save the bat-
teries.
•
If you do not press any buttons within 3 minutes after a
measurement, the blood pressure monitor switches off auto-
matically to save the batteries.
