Do not open the recorder case. Patient should avoid magnetic fields and high
frequency equipment. Contact your vendor for further instructions.
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.
Saving power
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.
