Battery Handling and Usage
• Keep batteries out of the reach of infants, toddlers or children.
• Stop using this monitor and consult with your physician if you experience skin irritation or discomfort.
• Consult with your physician before using this monitor on an arm where intravascular access or therapy, or an arterio-venous
(A-V) shunt, is present because of temporary interference to blood flow which could result in injury.
• Consult with your physician before using this monitor if you have had a mastectomy.
• Consult with your physician before using this monitor if you have severe blood flow problems or blood disorders as cuff
inflation can cause bruising.
• DO NOT take blood pressure measurements more often than necessary because bruising, due to blood flow interference,
may occur.
• ONLY inflate the arm cuff when it is applied on your upper arm.
• Remove the arm cuff if it does not start deflating during a blood pressure measurement.
• DO NOT use this monitor for any purpose other than measuring blood pressure, heart rate and heart rhythm.
• During a blood pressure measurement and/or an EKG recording, make sure that no mobile device or any other electrical
device that emits electromagnetic fields, other than the smartphone to be used with the monitor, is within 12 inches (30 cm) of
this monitor. This may result in incorrect operation of the monitor and/or cause inaccurate blood pressure readings and/or
EKG recordings.
• DO NOT disassemble or attempt to repair this monitor or other components. This may cause inaccurate blood pressure
readings and/or EKG recordings.
