CAUTION:
Blood pressure measurements can lead to temporary •
marks on the skin at the site of the cuff placement. This
is especially the case in high repetition rates, in hyper-
tonic patients and in patients with weak pulses. In rare
cases a mark may persist for a couple of days. Please
contact your physician about these specific risks of cuff
pressure in your specific case.
For hygienic reasons the cuff is intended only for the
•
use by one person.
