Maintenance and storage

For cleaning the monitor, only use a soft, slightly moistened cloth. Do not use petrol, thinners or similar solvents.

Protect your blood pressure monitor against vibrations and do not leave it in a place where temperatures are extremely low (below -20°C) or extremely high (above +60°C).

Do not use your monitor at very low (below 10°C) or very high (above 40°C) temperatures.

Do not carry out repairs of any kind yourself. If a defect occurs, consult OMRON Customer Service or seek the advice of your authorised dealer or chemist.

If the cuff needs to be replaced, have this done by an authorised expert.
