contra-indications, to avoid inaccurate measurements or injuries.
The device is not intended for measuring blood pressure in
pediatric patients of age younger than 12 years old (children,
infant, or neonates).
Presence of significant cardiac arrhythmia during measurement
may interfere with blood pressure measurement and affect the
reliability of blood pressure readings. Consult with your doctor
about whether the device is suitable for use in this case.
The device measures blood pressure using a pressured cuff. If
the measuring limb suffers from injuries (for example open
wounds) or under conditions or treatments (for example intrave-
nous drip) making it unsuitable for surface contact or pressur-
ization, do not use the device, to avoid worsening of the injuries
or conditions.
Patient motions during measurement may interfere with the
measurement process and influence results.
Avoid taking measurements of patients with conditions,
diseases, and susceptible to environment conditions that lead
to incontrollable motions (e.g. trembling or shivering) and
inability to communicate clearly (for example children and
unconscious patients).
