well being
Thank you for your confidence! You have purchased the blood pressure
monitor HGB, a quality product by MEDISANA.
To ensure the best results and long-term satisfaction with your MEDISANA
HGB Blood Pressure Monitor, we recommend 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.
• Patients suffering from arrhythmia have an irregular pulse and should
therefore avoid using oscillometric measuring devices (wrist and upper arm
devices). In this case, please let your doctor measure your blood pressure
using the traditional stethoscope method.
• Patients suffering from other complaints, e.g. arterial occlusive disease,
should also consult their doctor before using the unit.
• The unit may not be used to check the heart rate of patients with a pace-
maker.
• 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 wrist, please take the following action: Press the
START button
to deflate the cuff immediately. Loosen the cuff and re-
move it from your arm. Please contact either your dealer or MEDISANA
directly.
• The unit is only to be used for the specific purpose described in these
operating instructions. Any misuse will void the warranty.
• 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.
• Protect the unit from moisture. Should moisture enter the unit, remove the
batteries and stop using it immediately. In this case, please contact either
your dealer or MEDISANA directly. You can find details of how to contact us
on the address page.
• Only inflate the cuff when it is in position around the wrist
