– When using this device, please pay attention to the following situation which may interrupt
blood flow and influence blood circulation of the patient, thus cause harmful injury to the
patient: connection tubing kinking too frequent and consecutive multiple measurements;
the application of the cuff and its pressurization on any arm where intravascular access
or therapy, or an arterio-venous (A-V) shunt, is present; inflating the cuff on the side of
a mastectomy.
– Warning: Do not apply the cuff over a wound; otherwise it can cause further injury.
– Do not inflate the cuff on the samb limb which other monitoring ME equipment is applied
around simultaneously, because this could cause temporary loss of function of those
simultaneously-used monitoring ME equipment.
– On the rare occasion of a fault causing the cuff to remain fully inflated during
measurement, open the cuff immediately. Prolonged high pressure (cuff pressure >
300mmHg or constant pressure > 15mmHg for more than 3 minutes) applied to the arm
may lead to an ecchymosis.
– Please check that operation of the device does not result in prolonged impairment
of patient blood circulation.
– When measurement, please avoid compression or restriction of the connection tubing.
– The device cannot be used with HF surgical equipment at the same time.
– This device is contraindicated for any female who may be suspected of, or is pregnant.
Besides providing inaccurate readings, the effects of this device on the fetus are unknown.
– Too frequent and consecutive measurements could cause disturbances in blood
circulation and injuries.
– This unit is not suitable for continuous monitoring during medical emergencies or
operations. Otherwise, the patient's arm and fingers will become anaesthetic, swollen and
even purple due to a lack of blood.
– When not in use, store the device in a dry room and protect it against extreme moisture,
heat, lint, dust and direct sunlight. Never place any heavy objects on the storage case.

– The equipment is not AP/APG equipment and not suitable for use in the presence
of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air of with oxygen or nitrous oxide.
– The patient is an intended operator.
– The patient can measure data and change batteries under normal circumstances and
maintain the device and its accessories according to the user manual.
– To avoid measurement errors, please avoid the condition of strong electromagnetic field
radiated interference signal or electrical fast transient/burst signal.
– The blood pressure monitor, adaptor and the cuff are suitable for use within the patient
environment. If you are allergic to polyester, nylon or plastic, please don't use this device.
– If you experience discomfort during a measurement, such as pain in the arm or other
complaints, press the START/STOP button to release the air immediately from the cuff.
Loosen the cuff and remove it from your arm.
– If the cuff pressure reaches 40 kPa (300 mmHg), the unit will automatically deflate. Should
the cuff not deflate when pressures reaches 40 kPa (300 mmHg), detach the cuff from the
arm and press the START/STOP button to stop inflation.
– Before use, make sure the device functions safely and is in proper working condition.
Check the device, do not use the device if it is damaged in any way. The continuous use
