1 Safety Information

WARNING
Do not take any therapeutic measures based on your own
measurements! Never change the quantity of medication prescribed
by your doctor!
• Irregularity of pulse or arrhythmia can lead to difficulties in recording a correct
reading when measurements are taken using oscillometric blood pressure devices.
This device is elec tronically equipped to detect over 20 of the most commonly
occurring types of arrhythmia and movement artifacts and indicates this with a
symbol in the display.
• If you should suffer from conditions such as arterial occlusive disease, please con-
sult your doctor before using the unit.
• The unit may not be used to check the heart rate of patients with a pacemaker.
• Pregnant patients should take their own personal state of health into considera-
tion and take all necessary precautions before using the unit. If in doubt, consult
your doctor.
• Should you experience discomfort or other complaints during measurement, for
example pain in the upper arm, please take the following action: Press the START
button to deflate the cuff immediately. Loosen the cuff and remove it from your
arm. Please contact either your dealer or promed directly.
• Patients with a weak pulse wave should raise their arm and open and close their
hand around 10 times before taking a reading. This exercise optimizes the pulse
wave and the measuring process.
• The unit is only to be used for the specific purpose described in this instruction
manual. Any misuse will void the warranty.
• On the rare occasion of a fault causing the cuff to remain fully inflated during mea-
surement, open the cuff immediately.
• Do not use the unit near to equipment emitting a strong electric or magnetic field,
such as radios. This may impair the correct functioning of the unit.
• This device is not designed to be used by persons (including children) with limited
physical, sensory or mental abilities, or by persons with insufficient experience and/or
knowledge, unless under observation by a person responsible for their safety, or unless
they have been instructed in the use of the device.
• Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the device.
• If a fault occurs, do not try to repair the unit yourself. Attempts to do so will void the
warranty. Refer all servicing to authorized service personnel.
• Protect the unit from moisture. Should moisture enter the unit, remove the bat-
teries and stop using it immediately. In this case, please contact either your dealer
or promed directly. You can find details of how to contact us on the address page.
