Blood pressure measurement
❏ This device is intended for adult use only.
❏ The recorder may not make a measurement when a patient has continuous
arrhythmia or the recorder senses noise due to the patients movement.
❏ Please check measurement values by other methods, if you suspect an
erroneous value.
❏ Do not use this recorder on a person who is in critical condition or is in an
intensive care unit.
❏ This device is intended for ambulatory patients.

❏ Turn off the power switch when not in use.
❏ Please transfer the data as soon as possible. All measurement data, clock
parameters, measurement parameters and internal system parameters are
preserved by a backup battery when turning the power switch off. The backup
battery life is few days.
Cuff
❏ Close the cuff fastener properly when attaching the cuff to a patient or
replacing the cuff cloth. If the fastener is closed incorrectly, inflating cuff may
damage the cuff.
