WARNING: Do not apply cuff to delicate or damaged skin. Check cuff site frequently
for irritation.
WARNING: Only use the cuff when the range markings indicated on the cuff show that
the proper cuff size is selected, otherwise erroneous readings may result.
WARNING: Allow space between patient and cuff. Two fingers should fit in this space
if the cuff is correctly positioned.
WARNING: Do not apply cuff to limbs used for IV infusion.
WARNING: Patient should remain still during measurement to avoid erroneous read-
ings.
WARNING: When using with an infant or child cuff, extra care must be taken to pre-
vent over-inflation. With smaller cuffs (infant or child) the cuff can inflate to over
300mmHg with just two full compressions of the bulb. To prevent discomfort or injury to
the patient and damage to the instrument, bulb should only be partially squeezed, so that
each “stroke” inflates the cuff in 40mmHg to 60mmHg increments until inflated to the de-
sired level.
WARNING: This product may contain a chemical known to the state of California to
cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
CAUTION: To obtain the greatest accuracy from your blood pressure instrument, it is
recommended that the instrument be used within a temperature range of 50°F (10°C)
to 104°F (40°C), with a relative humidity range of 15%-85% (non-condensing).
CAUTION: Extreme altitudes may affect blood pressure readings. Your device has been
designed for normal environmental conditions.
