INTRODUCTION
1. Features of the KTN-01
The blood-pressure monitor KTN-01 (with integrated time/date display) is
a fully automatic, digital blood-pressure measuring device for use on the
wrist, which enables very fast and reliable measurement of the systolic and
diastolic blood-pressure as well as the pulse frequency by way of the oscillo-
metric method of measuring. The device offers a very high and clinical tested
measurement accuracy and has been designed to provide a maximum of
user-friendliness. The device is intended for self-use in home .
Before using, please read through this instruction manual carefully and then
keep it in a safe place. For further questions on the subject of blood-pressure
and its measurement, please contact your doctor.
Attention!
2. Important information about self-measurement
•
Substitution of a different component might result in measurement error.
•
Do not use with neonatal patients.
•
Do not intend to use with pregnant or pre-eclamptic patients
•
Too frequent measurements can cause injury to the patient due to blood
flow interference.
•
The application of the cuff over a wound can cause further injury.
•
The application of the cuff and its pressurization on any limb where intra-
vascular access or therapy, or an arteriovenous (A-V) shunt, is present
because of temporary interference to blood flow and could result in injury
to the patient.
•
Do not let the cuff and its pressurization on the arm on the side of a ma-
stectomy
•
Pressurization of the cuff can temporarily cause loss of function of simul-
taneously used monitoring ME equipment on the same limb.
•
The need to check that operation of the automated sphygmomanometer
does not result in prolonged impairment of patient blood circulation.
•
Not intended to be used together with HF surgical equipment.
•
Do not forget: self-measurement means control, not diagnosis or treat-
ment. Unusual values must always be discussed with your doctor. Under
no circumstances should you alter the dosages of any drugs prescribed
by your doctor.
•
The pulse display is not suitable for checking the frequency of heart pa-
cemakers!
•
In cases of cardiac irregularity (Arrhythmia), measurements made with this
instrument should only be evaluated after consultation with the doctor.
