General Precautions - Beurer BC 27 Gebrauchsanweisung

• Note that when inflating the cuff, the functions of the limb
in question may be impaired.
• Do not perform measurements more frequently than nec-
essary. Due to the restriction of blood flow, some bruising
may occur.
• During the blood pressure measurement, the blood cir-
culation must not be stopped for an unnecessarily long
time. If the device malfunctions, remove the cuff from the
wrist.
• Place the cuff on your wrist only. Do not place the cuff on
other parts of the body.
• Small parts may present a choking hazard for small chil-
dren if swallowed. They should therefore always be su-
pervised.

General precautions

• 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 from impacts, moisture, dirt, marked
temperature fluctuations and direct sunlight.
• Ensure the device is at room temperature before measur-
ing. If the measuring device has been stored close to the
maximum or minimum storage and transport tempera-
tures 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 drop the 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 that the batteries be removed if the de-
vice will not be used for a prolonged period of time.
Measures for handling batteries
• If your skin or eyes come into contact with battery
fluid, rinse the affected areas with water and seek
medical assistance.
• Choking hazard! Small children may swallow and
choke on batteries. Therefore, batteries should be
stored out of the reach of small children.
• Risk of explosion! Do not throw batteries into a fire.
• If a battery has leaked, put on protective gloves and
clean the battery compartment with a dry cloth.
• Do not disassemble, open or crush the batteries.
