CAUTION
* This device is intended for adult, in-home use only.
* The device is not suitable for use on neonatal patients, pregnant women, patients with
implanted electronical devices, patients with pre-eclampsia, premature ventricular
beats, atrial fibrillation, peripheral, arterial disease and patients undergoing intravas-
cular therapy or arterio-venous shunt or people who received a mastectomy. Please
consult your doctor prior to using the unit if you suffer from illnesses.
* The device is not suitable for measuring the blood pressure of children. Ask your
doctor before using it on older children.
* This device is intended for noninvasive measuring and monitoring of arterial blood
pressure. It is not intended for use on extremities other than the wrist 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 questions 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.
* 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 wrist 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 as 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.
* On the rare occasion of a defect causing the cuff to remain fully inflated during
measurement, open the cuff immediately. Prolonged high pressure (cuff pressure >
300mmHg or constant pressure > 15mmHg for more than 3 minutes) applied to the
wrist may lead to an ecchymosis.
* Please check that operation of the device does not result in prolonged impairment of
patient blood circulation.
