Contra-indications
Do not use this device if the patient’s condition meets the following 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 is not intended for measuring blood pressure in adults with conditions of diabetes,
pregnancy, or pre-eclampsia.
 The device measures brachial blood pressure using pressured cuff over upper arm. If the
measuring arm suffers from injuries (for example open wounds) or under conditions or
treatments (for example intravenous drip) making it unsuitable for surface contact or
pressurization of the arm, 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).
 The device uses oscillometric method to determine blood pressure, and requires the measured
arm with normal perfusion. The device is not intended to be used on an arm with restricted or
impaired blood circulation. Consult with your doctor if you severer perfusion or blood disorders
before using the device.
 Avoid taking measurement on the arm on the side of a mastectomy or lymph node clearance.
 The device is not intended to measure pulse rate to check the frequency of pacemaker.
 Do not use this device in a moving vehicle (for example in a car or on an aircraft).
Side Effects
Use of the device may be accompanied by minor side effects.
