Side Effects; Warning; Caution - Microlife Bpb1 Smart Bedienungsanleitung

 The device measures blood pressure using a pressured cuff. If
the measuring limb suffers from injuries (for example open
wounds) or under conditions or treatments (for example intrave-
nous drip) making it unsuitable for surface contact or pressur-
ization, do not use the device, to avoid worsening of the injuries
or conditions.
 Avoid taking measurements of patients with conditions,
diseases, and susceptible to environment conditions that lead
to incontrollable motions (e.g. trembling or shivering) and
inability to communicate clearly (for example children and
unconscious patients).
 The device uses oscillometric method to determine blood pres-
sure and requires the measured limb with normal perfusion.
The device is not intended to be used on a limb with restricted
or impaired blood circulation. Consult with your doctor if you
have severe perfusion or blood disorders before using the
device.

Side effects

In rare cases, slight bruising may result after measurement due to
pressurization of the arm.

Warning

NOTE: Warning items indicate potentially hazardous situations, if
not avoided, may result in death, critical or serious injury to the
user or patient.
 Avoid taking measurement on the arm on the side of a mastec-
tomy or lymph node clearance.
 Avoid taking measurements on the arm with intravascular
access or therapy or an arterio-venous (A-V) shunt. Cuff and
pressurization may temporarily interfere with blood flow and
could result in injury.
 Presence of significant cardiac arrhythmia during measurement
may interfere with blood pressure measurement and affect the
reliability of blood pressure readings. Consult with your doctor
about whether the device is suitable for use in this case.
 DO NOT use this device in a moving vehicle (for example in a
car or on an aircraft).
 DO NOT use this device for purposes beyond described in this
instructions for use. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for
damage caused by incorrect application.

 The measurement result of this device is not a medical diag-
nosis and not intended to substitute consultation and diagnosis
by a qualified professional healthcare provider (e.g., physician,
pharmacist, or other licensed health-care professionals).
 DO NOT use this device for self-diagnosis or for self-treatment
of a medical condition. Seek advice from a health-care profes-
sional immediately if the patient is clearly unwell and/or having
physiological or medical symptoms.
 Inspect the device, cuff and other parts for damage. DO NOT
USE the device, cuff or parts if they appear damaged or oper-
ating abnormally.
 Blood flow of the arm is temporarily interrupted during measure-
ment from cuff pressurization. Extended periods of cuff pressur-
ization reduces peripheral circulation. Beware of signs (e.g
tissue discoloration) of impeded peripheral circulation when
taking prolonged or multiple measurements. It is recommended
to rest between measurements. Abort measurement, loosen
the cuff (or disconnect the cuff and device) and rest to restore
perfusion.
 DO NOT use this device in oxygen rich environment or near
flammable gas.
 DO NOT use this device with other medical electrical (ME)
equipment simultaneously. This may cause device malfunction
or measurement inaccuracies.
 Use and store the device, cuff and parts in temperature and
humidity conditions specified in the «Technical specifications».
Usage and storage of the device, cuff and parts in conditions
outside ranges given in the «Technical specifications» may
results in device malfunction and the safety of usage.
 Keep the device away from children and people incapable of
operating the device. Beware of the risks of accidental ingestion
of small parts and of strangulation with the cables and tubes of
this device and accessories.
DO NOT let children operate the device alone.

Caution

NOTE: Caution items indicate potentially hazardous situations, if
not avoided, may result in minor or negligible injury to the user or
patient, or damage to the property or environment.
