measuring device to malfunction and/or an inaccurate
measurement.
• Do not use the device outside of the specified storage
and operating conditions. This could lead to incorrect
measurements.
• Only use the cuffs included in delivery or described in
these instructions for use with the device. Using a differ-
ent cuff may lead to inaccurate measurements.
• Note that when inflating the cuff, the functions of the limb
affected may be impaired.
• Do not perform measurements more frequently than nec-
essary. Due to the restriction of blood flow, some bruis-
ing may occur.
• Blood circulation must not be stopped for an unneces-
sarily long time during the blood pressure measurement.
If the device malfunctions, remove the cuff from the arm.
• Place the cuff on the upper arm only. Do not place the
cuff on other parts of the body.
• The air line poses a risk of strangulation for small chil-
dren.
• Small parts may present a choking hazard for small
children if swallowed. They should therefore always be
supervised
• Do not drop, step on or shake the device.
• Do not disassemble the device as this may cause dam-
age, faults and malfunctions.
• If you have any of the following conditions, it is essential
you consult your doctor before using the device: Cardiac
arrhythmia, circulatory problems, diabetes, pregnancy,
pre-eclampsia, hypotension, chills, shaking
• To rule out a difference between sides, the measurement
should initially be taken on both arms.
General precautions
CAUTION
• The blood pressure monitor is made from precision and
electronic components. The accuracy of the measure-
ments and service life of the device depend on its careful
handling.
• Protect the device and its mains adapter from impacts,
humidity, dirt, marked temperature fluctuations and di-
rect sunlight.
• Ensure the device is at room temperature before taking a
measurement. If the measuring device has been stored
close to the maximum or minimum storage and trans-
port 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 use the device in the vicinity of strong electro-
magnetic fields and keep it away from radio systems or
mobile telephones.
• We recommend removing the batteries if the device is
not going to be used for a prolonged period of time.
• Avoid any mechanical restriction, compression or bend-
ing of the cuff line.
