• The device is not intended for patient transport outside a healthcare
facility.
• The device is not intended for public use.
• This device is intended for non-invasive measuring and monitoring of
arterial blood pressure. It is not intended for use on extremities other
than the arm or for functions other than obtaining a blood pressure
measurement.
• Do not confuse self-monitoring with self-diagnosis. This unit allows
you to monitor your blood pressure. Do not begin or end medical
treatment without asking a physician for treatment advice.
• If you are taking medication, consult your physician to determine the
most appropriate time to measure your blood pressure. Never
change a prescribed medication without consulting your physician.
• Do not take any therapeutic measures on the basis of a self
measurement. Never alter the dose of a medicine prescribed by a
doctor. Consult your doctor if you have any question about your
blood pressure.
• When the device is used to measure patients who have common
arrhythmias (such as atrial or ventricular premature beats or atrial
fibrillation), the best result may occur with deviation. Please consult
your physician about the result.
• Don't kink the connection tube during use. The cuff pressure may
continuously increase which can prevent blood flow and result in
harmful injury to the patient.
• 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. It can cause further
injury.
• Do not inflate the cuff on the same 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.
