Thank you for your confidence in us and congratulations on your purchase!
You have acquired a quality product with your purchase of the Medisana MTV
upper arm blood pressure monitor. To ensure the best results and long-term
satisfaction with your MEDISANA MTV blood pressure monitor, we recom-
mend that you read the following operating and maintenance instructions
carefully.
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.
• If you should suffer from conditions such as arterial occlusive disease, please
consult 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
consideration 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 MEDISANA
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 these
operating instructions.
• Any misuse will void the warranty.
• The unit is intended for domestic use only.
• On the rare occasion of a fault causing the cuff to remain fully inflated
during measurement, 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.
• Do not let children operate the unit. Medical products are not toys!
• 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.
