General Precautions - Beurer BC 87 Gebrauchsanweisung

Discuss the measured values with your doctor and never
make your own medical decisions based on them (e.g.
regarding dosages of medicines).
• The device is only intended for the purpose described in
these instructions for use. The manufacturer is not liable
for damage resulting from improper or incorrect use.
• Using the blood pressure monitor outside your home en-
vironment or whilst on the move (e.g. whilst travelling in a
car, ambulance or helicopter, or whilst undertaking physi-
cal activity such as playing sport) can influence the meas-
urement accuracy and cause incorrect measurements.
• Cardiovascular diseases may lead to incorrect measure-
ments or have a detrimental effect on measurement ac-
curacy.
• Do not use the device at the same time as other medical
electrical devices (ME equipment). This could lead to a
malfunction of the measuring device and/or an inaccurate
measurement.
• Do not use the device outside of the specified storage
and operating conditions. This could lead to incorrect
measurements.
• Only use the cuffs included in delivery or cuffs described
in these instructions for use for the device. Using another
cuff may lead to measurement inaccuracies.
• Note that when inflating the cuff, the functions of the limb
in question may be impaired.
• Do not perform measurements more frequently than nec-
essary. Due to the restriction of blood flow, some bruising
may occur.
• During the blood pressure measurement, the blood cir-
culation must not be stopped for an unnecessarily long
time. If the device malfunctions, remove the cuff from the
wrist.
• Place the cuff on your wrist only. Do not place the cuff on
other parts of the body.
• Small parts may present a choking hazard for small chil-
dren if swallowed. They should therefore always be su-
pervised.

General precautions

• The blood pressure monitor is made from precision and
electronic components. The accuracy of the measure-
ments and service life of the device depend on its careful
handling.
• Protect the device from impacts, moisture, dirt, marked
temperature fluctuations and direct sunlight.
• Ensure the device is at room temperature before measur-
ing. If the measuring device has been stored close to the
maximum or minimum storage and transport tempera-
tures and is placed in an environment with a temperature
of 20°C, it is recommended that you wait approx. 2 hours
before using the measuring device.
• Do not drop the device.
• Do not use the device in the vicinity of strong electro-
magnetic fields and keep it away from radio systems or
mobile telephones.
• We recommend that the batteries be removed if the de-
vice will not be used for a prolonged period of time.
