Beurer BM 85 Gebrauchsanweisung Seite 21

• Avoid any mechanical restriction, compression or bending of
the cuff line.
• Do not allow sustained pressure in the cuff or frequent meas-
urements. The resulting restriction of the blood flow may
cause injury.
• Make sure that the cuff is not placed on an arm in which the
arteries or veins are undergoing medical treatment, e.g. in-
travascular access or intravascular or therapy, or an arterio-
venous (AV) shunt.
• Do not use the cuff on people who have undergone a mas-
tectomy.
• Do not place the cuff over wounds as this may cause further
injury.
• You can either use the blood pressure monitor with batteries
or with a mains part. Please note that data transfer and data
storage is only possible when your blood pressure monitor is
supplied with power. As soon as the batteries are empty or
the mains part is disconnected from the power supply, the
blood pressure monitor loses the date and time.
• To conserve the batteries, the blood pressure monitor
switches off automatically if you do not press any buttons for
3 minutes.
• The device is only intended for the purpose described in
these instructions for use. The manufacturer is not liable for
damage resulting from improper or careless use.
Instructions for storage and maintenance
• 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
temperature fluctuations and direct sunlight.
– 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.
– Only use the cuff included with the delivery or original
replacement parts. Otherwise incorrect measurements will

arm.
Notes on batteries
• Swallowing batteries can be extremely dangerous. Keep the
batteries and products out of the reach of small children. If a
battery has been swallowed, seek medical attention immedi-
ately.
• Batteries must not be taken apart, thrown into an open fire or
short circuited.
