Do not apply the cu on an arm that has an intravenous drip or a blood transfusion attached.
- Do not kink, fold, stretch, compress, or otherwise deform the tube during measuring, as the cu pressure might
continuously increase, which could prevent blood flow and result injury.
- Taking blood pressure measurements too frequently could disrupt blood circulation and cause injuries.
- Do not apply cu to areas on patient where skin is delicate or damaged. Check cu site frequently for irritation.
- Do not place the cu on the arm of a person whose arteries or veins are undergoing medical treatment, i.e.
intra-vascular access or intra-vascular therapy or an arteriovenous (A-V) shunt, which could disrupt blood
circulation and cause injuries.
- Do not place the cu on the arm on the same side of a mastectomy (especially when lymph nodes have been
removed). it is recommended to take measurements on the unaected side.
- Do not wrap the cu on the same arm to which another monitoring device is applied. One or both devices could
temporarily stop functioning if you try to use them at the same time.
- Please check (for example, by observation of the limb concerned) that the operation of the device does not
result in prolonged impairment of patient blood circulation.
- On the rare occasion of a fault causing the cu to remain fully inflated during measurement, loosen and remove
the cu immediately. Prolonged high pressure applied to the arm (cu pressure >300 mmHg or constant
pressure >15 mmHg for more than 3 minutes) might lead to bruising and discoloured skin.
- Do not use this device with high-frequency (HF) surgical equipment at the same time.
- This device is not used in conjunction with oxygen rich environments, not intended for use with flammable
anaesthetics, not intended for use in conjunction with flammable agents.
- Do not touch output of the batteries and the user simultaneously.
- The power cord is considered the disconnect device for isolating this equipment from supply mains. Do not
position the equipment so that it is dicult to reach or disconnect.
- Do not use this device if you are allergic to polyester, nylon, or plastic.
- Only use accessories approved by manufacturer. Using unapproved accessories might cause damage to the unit
and injure users.
- If you experience discomfort during a measurement, such as pain in the arm or other complaints, press the
Power button immediately to release the air from the cu.
- Do not use the device while under maintenance, or being serviced.
- The air tube poses a risk of strangulation. Furthermore, the small parts of product and batteries present a
choking hazard if swallowed. They should therefore always be kept away from infants/children.
- Sensor degradation or looseness may reduce performance of device or cause other problems.
