☞ Further information
The level of blood-pressure is subject to fluctuations even with healthy people. Important thereby
is, that
comparable measurements always require the same conditions (rest condition)!
If, in spite of observing all these factors, the fluctuations are more than 15 mmHg, and/or you
hear irregular pulses on several occasions, please consult your doctor.
You must consult your specialist dealer or chemist if there are technical problems with the blood-
pressure instrument.
Never attempt to repair the instrument yourself!
Any unauthorised opening of the instrument invalidates all guarantee claims!
6. Care and maintenance, recalibration
With proper care and maintenance, this blood-pressure measuring device will provide years of
satisfactory service. Follow the general rules below:
• Do not drop.
• Never inflate beyond 300 mmHg.
• Do not expose the device to either extreme temparatures, humidity, or direct sunlight.
• Never contact the cuff fabric with a sharp instrument, since this could cause damage.
• Always deflate cuff completely before storage.
• Do not dismantle manometer under any circumstance.
• Store the whole device in storage bag provided, to keep all the parts clean.
• Storage temperature condition: -20 °C to 70 °C at a relative air humidity of 85 % (non-
condensing).
• Wipe off the manometer and bulb with a damp cloth. Sterilization is not necessary, since
the parts of manometer should not come into direct contact with the patient‘s body during
measurement.
• Remove the bladder first, and wipe the velcro, bladder and tubes with a damp cloth. The cuff
can be washed with soap and cold water. But do rinse the cuff with clear water and keep it
air dry.
