Caring for the device
Please do not attempt to disassemble, repair or modify the device.
This may cause fire or cause the device to malfunction. It may also lead to
injury.
Please do not fold the pressure cuff back against itself.
Always use the pressure cuff on your wrist and nowhere else.
• Either of these actions may cause the device to malfunction.
Do not use excessive force on the device.
Do not drop the device.
Measurements may be impaired if the device is used close to televisions,
microwave ovens, X-ray equipment or other devices with strong electrical
fields.
Please measure your blood pressure at a sufficient distance from such
devices or switch them off.
The cuff may lose some of its elasticity at temperatures below 0°C. If the
device is exposed to such extreme temperatures, it is a good idea to leave it
until it warms up to room temperature before taking the next measurement.
As a basic principle, the device should not be exposed to extreme
conditions (cold, heat, humidity, dust).
Do not allow dust or other foreign objects to enter the device as this may
cause it to malfunction.
Cleaning the device
• Do not use anything other than a cloth with warm water and a little soapy
to wipe the device.
• Do not use thinners, benzene, or alcohol on the device as this may cause
discoloration and cracks.
• Cuff can not be washed.
Storage
• Avoid exposing the device to high temperatures, high humidity and direct
sunlight as this can cause the device to malfunction.
Long-term storage
• Remove the batteries before storing the device for long periods of time.
Failure to do so may result in the batteries leaking, which may cause the
device to malfunction.
For your safety
Always follow your physician’s instruction when taking medication.
Please consult your doctor as to the most appropriate time to measure your
blood pressure if you are receiving medication.
People with cardiac pacemakers, cardiac arrhythmia, vascular constriction
or liver disorders as well as diabetics should consult their doctor before
measuring their blood pressure themselves, since different values may be
measured in such cases. The same also applies during pregnancy.
The Diagnostec is no toy for children!
In case you measure your child’s blood pressure, always consult your
doctor since the data cannot be compared with the standard adult’s data.
Always remove your watch or jewellery from your wrist before using your
new Diagnostec. This will prevent damage to the inside of the cuff and
reduce the risk of inaccurate measurement.
Do not switch on the Diagnostec until the cuff has been secured around
your wrist. The cuff might get damaged by excess pressure built up, if the
device is not secured to the wrist.
