wounds) or under conditions or treatments (for example intrave-
nous drip) making it unsuitable for surface contact or pressuriza-
tion, do not use the device, to avoid worsening of the injuries or
conditions.
 Patient motions during measurement may interfere with the
measurement process and influence results.
 Avoid taking measurements of patients with conditions, diseases,
and susceptible to environment conditions that lead to incontrol-
lable motions (e.g. trembling or shivering) and inability to commu-
nicate clearly (for example children and unconscious patients).
 The device uses oscillometric method to determine blood pres-
sure. The arm being measure should have normal perfusion. The
device is not intended to be used on a limb with restricted or
impaired blood circulation. If you suffer with perfusion or blood
disorders, consult your doctor before using the device.
 Avoid taking measurement on the arm on the side of a mastec-
tomy or lymph node clearance.
 Do not use this device in a moving vehicle (for example in a car
or on an aircraft).
WARNING
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.

 This device may only be used for the intended uses described in
this Instructions for Use. The manufacturer cannot be held liable
for damage caused by incorrect application.
 Do not change the patient medication and treatment based the
result of one or multiple measurements. Treatment and medica-
tion changes should be prescribed only by a medical profes-
sional.
 Inspect the device, cuff, and other parts for damage. DO NOT
USE the device, cuff or parts if they appear damaged or operating
abnormally.
 Blood flow of the arm is temporarily interrupted during measure-
ment. Extended interruption of blood flow reduces peripheral
circulation and may cause tissue injury. Beware of signs (for
example tissue discoloration) of impeded peripheral circulation if
taking measurements continuously or for an extended period of
time.
 Prolonged exposure to cuff pressure will reduce peripheral perfu-
sion and may lead to injury. Avoid situations of extended cuff
pressurization beyond normal measurements. In the case of
abnormally long pressurization, abort the measurement or loose
the cuff to depressurize the cuff.
 Do not use this device in oxygen rich environment or near flam-
mable gas.
