CAUTION:
The device is not intended for patient transport
outside a healthcare facility.
The device is not suitable for use on neonatal patients,
pregnant women, patients with implanted electronic
devices, patients with pre-eclampsia, premature
ventricular beats, atrial fibrillation, peripheral arterial
disease, arteriovenous shunt, and patients undergoing
intravascular therapy or have received a mastectomy.
Please consult your doctor prior to using
the unit if you suffer from these or other illnesses.
The device is not suitable for measuring the blood
pressure of children. Ask your doctor before using
it on older children.
This device is intended for non-invasive measuring and
monitoring of arterial blood pressure. It is not intended
for use on extremities other than the arm or for functions
other than obtaining a blood pressure measurement.
This unit performs to the accuracy standards of a
clinical product.
Do not confuse self-monitoring with self-diagnosis.
This unit allows you to monitor your blood pressure.
Do not begin or end medical treatment without asking
a physician for treatment advice.
If you are taking medication, consult your physician to
determine the most appropriate time to measure your
4
blood pressure. Never change a prescribed medication
without consulting your physician.
Do not take any therapeutic measures on the basis of
a self-measurement. Never alter the dose of a medicine
prescribed by a doctor. Consult your doctor if you have
any questions about your blood pressure.
When the device is used to measure patients who
have common arrhythmias such as atrial or ventricular
premature beats or atrial fibrillation, the best result may
occur with deviation. Please consult your physician about
the result.
When using this device, please pay attention to the
following situations which may interrupt blood flow,
influence blood circulation of the patient, and cause
harmful injury:
•
The use of the cuff on any arm where intravascular
access or therapy, or an arteriovenous (A-V) shunt,
is present
•
Inflating the cuff on the side of a mastectomy
WARNING:
Do not apply the cuff over a wound,
or it can cause further injury.
Do not inflate the cuff on the same limb which other
monitoring ME equipment (medical electrical equipment)
is applied at the same time. This could cause temporary
loss of function of simultaneously-used monitoring
ME equipment.
