• Only use the cuffs included in delivery or cuffs described
in these instructions for use for the device. Using another
cuff may lead to measurement inaccuracies.
• Please 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 circu-
lation must not be stopped for an unnecessarily long time.
If the device malfunctions remove the cuff from the arm.
• Place the cuff on your upper arm only. Do not place the
cuff on other parts of the body.
• The air line poses a risk of strangulation for small children.
Furthermore, included small parts pose a risk of suffoca-
tion for small children if swallowed. They should therefore
always be supervised.
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, humidity, 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 electromag-
netic fields and keep it away from radio systems or mobile
telephones.
• We recommend that the batteries be removed if the de-
vice is not to be used for a prolonged period of time.
• Avoid any mechanical restriction, compression or bending
of the cuff line.
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, store batteries 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.
