• Do not use the device at the same time as other medical elec-
trical devices (ME equipment). This could lead to a malfunc-
tion of the device and/or an inaccurate measurement.
• Do not use the device outside of the specified storage and
operating conditions. This could lead to incorrect measure-
ments.
• Only use the cuffs included in delivery or cuffs described in
these instructions for use for the device. Using another cuff
may lead to measurement inaccuracies.
• Please note that when inflating the cuff, the functions of the
limb in question may be impaired.
• Do not perform measurements more frequently than neces-
sary. Due to the restriction of blood flow, some bruising may
occur.
• 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.
• Place the cuff on your upper arm only. Do not place the cuff
on other parts of the body.
• Small parts may present a choking hazard for small children if
swallowed. They should therefore always be supervised.
General precautions
• The blood pressure monitor is made from precision and elec-
tronic components. The accuracy of the measurements and
service life of the device depend on its careful handling.
• Protect the device from impacts, humidity, dirt, marked tem-
perature fluctuations and direct sunlight.
• Ensure the device is at room temperature before measuring.
If the measuring device has been stored close to the maxi-
mum or minimum storage and transport temperatures and is
placed in an environment with a temperature of 20 °C, it is
recommended that you wait approx. 2 hours before using the
measuring device.
• 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.
• We recommend that the batteries be removed if the device is
not to be used for a prolonged period of time.
• Avoid any mechanical restriction, compression or bending of
the cuff line.
• The temperature of the cuff can reach up to 42.1 °C during
normal operation at an ambient temperature of 40 °C.
Measures for handling batteries
• If your skin or eyes come into contact with battery fluid,
rinse the affected areas with water and seek medical as-
sistance.
• Choking hazard! Small children may swallow and choke
on batteries. Therefore, store batteries out of the reach
of small children.
• Risk of explosion! Do not throw batteries into a fire.
• If a battery has leaked, put on protective gloves and
clean the battery compartment with a dry cloth.
• Do not disassemble, open or crush the batteries.
