PRECAUTIONS FOR USE AND MAINTENANCE

Precautions for use

1.If you suffer from heart disease, high blood pressure or other circulatory disease, consult your physician before using the monitor.

2.If the cuff pressure feels abnormal or you experience any other irregularity while using the cuff, reduce the pressure immediately by pressing the “START/STOP” switch and then consult the sales outlet where you purchased the monitor.

3.If you think the measurement is abnormal or if measurement makes you feel unwell, discontinue use and consult your physician.

4.Blood pressure measurement may not be possible for anyone with a weak pulse or arrhythmia.

5.Repeated blood pressure measurement may cause problems such as congestion or swelling in some people.

6.Frequently repeated blood pressure measurements will not give accurate results. Allow an interval of about 10 minutes between measurements.

7.If you suffer from a severe problem with blood circulation in your arms, consult your physician before using the monitor. Failure to do so could be hazardous to your health.

8.Measurement may not be possible for anyone with insufficient blood flow to the area where measurements will be taken or who suffers from a frequent irregular heartbeat. Consult your physician for advice on whether to use the monitor.

9.DO NOT wrap the cuff around an injured arm.

10.DO NOT wrap the cuff around an arm in which a drip (intravenous infusion) is inserted, or which is being used for blood transfusion as part of medical treatment. Doing so could result in an injury or a serious accident.

11.DO NOT use the monitor in the vicinity of flammable gases such as those used for anaesthesia. Doing so could ignite the gases and cause an explosion.

12.DO NOT use the monitor in enriched oxygen environments such as a hospital’s hyperbaric chamber or oxygen tent. Doing so could ignite the oxygen and cause a fire.

13.DO NOT use mobile phones near the monitor as this could result in a malfunction.

14.If you use a cardiac pacemaker, consult your physician before using the monitor.
