Device Care; Cleaning The Cuff; Accuracy Test - Microlife BP A6 PC Bedienungsanleitung

 Blood flow of the arm is temporarily interrupted during measure-
ment. Extended interruption of blood flow reduces peripheral
circulation and may cause tissue injury. Beware of signs (for
example tissue discoloration) of impeded peripheral circulation
if taking measurements continuously or for an extended period
of time.
 Prolonged exposure to cuff pressure will reduce peripheral
perfusion and may lead to injury. Avoid situations of extended
cuff pressurization beyond normal measurements. In the case
of abnormally long pressurization, abort the measurement or
loose the cuff to depressurize the cuff.
 Do not use this device in oxygen rich environment or near flam-
mable gas.
 The device is not water resistant or water proof. Do not spill or
immerse the device in water or other liquids.
 Do not dissemble or attempt to service the device, accessory
and parts, during use or in storage. Access to the device
internal hardware and software is prohibited. Unauthorized
access and servicing of the device, during use or in storage,
may compromise the safety and performance of the device.
 Keep the device away from children and people incapable of
operating the device. Beware of the risks of accidental ingestion
of small parts and of strangulation with the cables and tubes of
this device and accessories.
CAUTION
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
may result in minor or moderate injury to the user or patient, or
cause damage to the device or other property.
 The device is intended only for measuring blood pressure at
upper arm. Do not measure other sites because the reading
does not reflect your blood pressure accurately.
 After a measurement is completed, loosen the cuff and rest for
> 5 minutes to restore limb perfusion, before taking another
measurement.
 Do not use this device with other medical electrical (ME) equip-
ment simultaneously. This may cause device malfunction or
measurement inaccuracies.
 Do not use this device in proximity of high frequency (HF)
surgical equipment, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) equip-
ment, and computerized tomography (CT) scanners. This may
cause device malfunction and measurement inaccuracies.
