Operation Manual

19
Do not disassemble the QardioArm blood pressure monitor.
Do not use an alcohol-based or solvent agent to clean the
device. Clean the device only with a soft, dry cloth. Clean the
cuff carefully with a damp cloth and soap. Do not submerge
any part of the QardioArm in water at any time.
AAA ALKALINE BATTERY USAGE AND STORAGE
If AAA alkaline battery fluid should get on your skin or
clothing, immediately rinse thoroughly with plenty of clean
water.
Use only four AAA alkaline batteries with the QardioArm
blood pressure monitor. Do not use any other types of AAA
batteries, and do not use any type of rechargeable batteries.
When replacing batteries, insert the four AAA alkaline
batteries with their polarities aligned as indicated on the
QardioArm blood pressure monitor.
Immediately replace the AAA alkaline batteries when they
are depleted.
Always replace all four AAA alkaline batteries at the same
time: do not use new and old AAA alkaline batteries together.
If the QardioArm blood pressure monitor will not be used for
a long period of time, the batteries should be removed.
Store the device and the components in a clean, dry and
safe location.
IRREGULAR HEART BEAT MESSAGE
If irregular heartbeat is detected during the measurement
procedure, a message will be displayed. Repeat the measurement
after one hour. If irregular heart beat is detected several times in
a day or week, we recommend you discuss this with your doctor.
Under this condition, the wireless blood pressure monitor can
keep functioning, but the results may be inaccurate. There are
2 conditions under which the signal of irregular heart beat will
be displayed:
1. The coefficient of variation (CV) of pulse period >25%.
2. The difference between adjacent pulse periods ≥0.14s and the
number of such pulses constitutes more than 53 percent of
the total number of pulses.
