Beurer BC 28 Gebrauchsanweisung Seite 24

• Using the blood pressure monitor outside your home
environment or whilst on the move (e.g. whilst travel-
ling in a car, ambulance or helicopter, or whilst under-
taking physical activity such as playing sport) can
influence the measurement accuracy and cause incor-
rect measurements.
• Do not use the blood pressure monitor on newborns
or patients with pre-eclampsia. We recommend con-
sulting a doctor before using the blood pressure moni-
tor during pregnancy.
• In the case of restricted circulation on the arm as a
result of chronic or acute vascular diseases (includ-
ing vascular constriction), the accuracy of the wrist
measurement is limited. In this case you should use an
upper arm blood pressure monitor instead.
• This device is not intended for use by people (includ-
ing children) with restricted physical, sensory or men-
tal skills or a lack of experience and/or a lack of knowl-
edge, unless they are supervised by a person who has
responsibility for their safety or they receive instruc-
tions from this person on how to use the device.
Supervise children around the device to ensure they
do not play with it.
• Cardiovascular diseases may lead to incorrect meas-
urements or have a detrimental effect on measurement
accuracy. The same also applies to very low blood
pressure, diabetes, circulatory disorders and arrhyth-
mias as well as chills or shaking.
• The blood pressure monitor must not be used in con-
nection with a high-frequency surgical unit.
• Only use the device on people who have the specified
wrist measurement for the device.
• Please note that when inflating, the functions of the
limb in question may be impaired.
• During the blood pressure measurement, the blood
circulation must not be stopped for an unnecessarily
long time. If the device malfunctions, remove the cuff
from the arm.
• Do not allow sustained pressure in the cuff or frequent
measurements. 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. intravascular access or intravascular
therapy, or an arteriovenous (AV) shunt.
• Do not use the cuff on people who have undergone a
mastectomy.
• Do not place the cuff over wounds as this may cause
further injury.
