CONTRAINDICATIONS
It is not recommended for people with serious arrhythmia to
use this blood pressure monitor.
CAUTIONS
Self-diagnosis of measurement results and self-treatment are
potentially dangerous. You should always consult your doctor.
People with severe blood flow problems, or blood disorders,
should consult a doctor before using the blood pressure monitor
as cuff inflation might cause internal bleeding.
Complicating factors such as common arrhythmias, ventricular
premature beats, atrial fibrillation, arterial sclerosis, poor
perfusion, diabetes, age, pregnancy, preeclampsia or renal
disease can affect the performance of the automated
sphygmomanometer and/or its blood pressure reading.
If you suffer from an irregular heartbeat, measurements taken
with this device should be evaluated with your doctor.
This device may only be used for the purposes described in this
User Guide. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage
or injury caused by incorrect use. Always follow the operating
procedures described in this User Guide to measure your blood
pressure accurately and safely.
