Safety instructions
Warning
Risk of strangulation posed by the shoulder strap and cuff tubing.
If the patient has limited cognitive abilities, the device may only be used under supervision.
•
• Do not place the shoulder strap and cuff tubing around the patient's neck.
• Always place the cuff tubing under the outer clothing (even at night).
• When used on children, the device must only be applied with special care and under permanent
supervision.
• Turn off the device, remove the cuff, and notify the doctor in the event of experiencing pain, swelling,
redness or numbness in the limb where the cuff is placed. (It is expected that some mild to moderate
discomfort may be experienced during a blood pressure measurement.)
Measurement can be interrupted at any stage by pushing a random button. This deflates the cuff and
•
the device can be removed.
Warning
Poor circulation caused by continuous cuff pressure.
Do not kink the connecting tubing.
•
• If the patient has limited cognitive abilities, the device may only be used under supervision.
• Ensure the correct placement of the shoulder strap and cuff tubing.
• Always place the cuff tubing under the outer clothing (even at night).
When used on children, the device must only be applied with special care and under permanent
•
supervision.
• Turn off the device, remove the cuff, and notify the doctor in the event of experiencing pain, swelling,
redness or numbness in the limb where the cuff is placed. (It is expected that some mild to moderate
discomfort may be experienced during a blood pressure measurement.)
Warning
Placement and inflation of the cuff over a wound may lead to further injuries.
Placement and inflation of the cuff on any limb with an intravascular access or under
intravascular treatment or an arteriovenous (A-V) shunt may lead to temporary interruption of
circulation and therefore to further patient injury.
Placement and inflation of the cuff on the arm at the side of a breast amputation may lead to
further injury.
Turn off the device, remove the cuff, and notify the doctor in the event of experiencing pain, swelling,
•
redness or numbness in the limb where the cuff is placed. (It is expected that some mild to moderate
discomfort may be experienced during a blood pressure measurement.)
Warning
If the patient is wearing an additional ME device on the same limb for monitoring purposes, the
placement and inflation of the cuff may trigger the temporary loss of the existing ME device's
function.
The operation and use of the automated non-invasive blood pressure monitoring device may lead
to longer impaired blood circulation in the patient or respective limb.
• Turn off the device, remove the cuff, and notify the doctor in the event of experiencing pain, swelling,
redness or numbness in the limb where the cuff is placed. (It is expected that some mild to moderate
discomfort may be experienced during a blood pressure measurement.)
Warning
Poor circulation due to overly frequent measurements.
• If the patient has limited cognitive abilities, the device may only be used under supervision.
• Turn off the device, remove the cuff, and notify the doctor in the event of experiencing pain, swelling,
redness or numbness in the limb where the cuff is placed. (It is expected that some mild to moderate
discomfort may be experienced during a blood pressure measurement.)
Warning
In very rare cases materials used for and on the cuff may cause allergic reactions.
• Do not use the cuff on patients with a known hypersensitivity to epoxy resin.
Caution
Risk of injury caused by incorrect application of the cuff.
• If the patient has limited cognitive abilities, the device may only be used under supervision.
When used on children, the device must only be applied with special care and under permanent
•
supervision.
• Ensure that neither the shoulder strap nor the cuff tubing can ever wrap around the patient's neck.
Always place the cuff tubing under the outer clothing (even at night).
• Place the device in such a way that, while the cuff is inflated, the tubing is not compressed or kinked,
especially during sleep.
• Petechiae, haemorrhages or subcutaneous haematoma may occur in some patients.
• Turn off the device, remove the cuff, and notify the doctor in the event of experiencing pain, swelling,
redness or numbness in the limb where the cuff is placed. (It is expected that some mild to moderate
discomfort may be experienced during a blood pressure measurement.)
Attention
Damage to device
Do not open the casing. Once the device is opened, all warranties will lapse.
•
Attention
Damage to device
Do not wear the ABPM 7100 while showering. If you suspect that liquid has entered the device while
•
cleaning or using it, the device shall no longer be used on the patient.
In the device was exposed to moisture, switch off the device and remove the batteries.
•
• The device may not be operated around MRI scanners or in the immediate vicinity of other medical
electrical equipment.
During a defibrillator discharge, the device shall not be in contact with the patient. Such a discharge
•
may damage the ABPM 7100 and cause it to display incorrect values.
Measurement can be interrupted at any stage by pushing a random button. This deflates the cuff and
•
the device can be removed.
Attention
Measurement errors
• Although the ABPM 7100 fulfills all EMC standard requirements, it should not be exposed to any
strong electromagnetic fields, as this may lead to malfunctions outside the limit values.
• The cuff tubing between the ABPM 7100 and the cuff may not be knotted, compressed or pulled
apart.
• The cuff connection must always engage with an audible "CLICK". A loose connection between the
tubing and the device leads to measurement errors.
Note
• Severe malfunctions are indicated by a continuous beep.
• In the event of a continuous beep, switch off the device, remove the cuff and inform
your doctor.
24-hour measurement
1. Before a 24-hour measurement, go through these instructions together with your doctor.
2. Let your doctor explain possible hazards in detail on the basis of the warnings above.
3. Ensure that you have understood all functions and observable points.
4. Turn the device off when it is not being worn (e.g. during x-ray screening at airports). When the device
is applied again, ensure that it is turned on with the ON/OFF button.
