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.
Warning
Self-diagnosis and self-treatment based on the measurement results is dangerous! Do not change your
treatment or start any treatment without discussing it with your doctor.
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.
•
The device must not be in contact with the patient during a defibrillator discharge. A discharge of this kind may
damage the ABPM 7100 and cause it to display incorrect values.
The cuffs and the tube are made from non-conducting material. They therefore protect the monitor against
the effects of a defibrillator discharge.
•
The ABPM 7100 must not be used in aircraft.
•
Measurement can be interrupted at any stage by pushing a random button. This deflates the cuff and the
device can be removed.
Attention!
•
Do not drop the device and do not place objects on top of it.
