there must no longer be any disinfectants on
the blood pressure cuff!
▪ There are patients who have intolerances
(e.g. allergies) to disinfectants or its
components!
▪ Do not immerse the cuff with balloon and
blood pressure monitor in disinfectant, water
or other liquids!
▪ If liquid nevertheless penetrates the device,
switch it off immediately and send it away to
be checked by the manufacturer or healthcare
provider!

®
GSM, otherwise any warranty
becomes void.
Always observe the manufacturer's instructions on
the disinfection and cleaning of these products.
▪ To clean, use lukewarm water up to 30 °C at
most, to which you can add a mild detergent if
necessary. (Never use abrasive or solvent-
based detergents as these can damage the
surface of the blood pressure monitor and the
cuff.)
▪ Do not use fabric softeners or other additives
(e.g. hygiene rinses, textile deodorants).
These agents can leave behind residues and
damage the material.
▪ The cuff can be washed in the washing
machine up to 30°C using a mild detergent
without spin-dry.
▪ The cuff is not suitable for drying in a dryer.
▪ The Velcro strip must always be closed
before washing.
