⊗Use the safety cord!
⊗After pulling the safety cord you need to turn off the machine by pressing the on/off
switch before you reinsert the magnet!
Blood pressure module
⊗ The machine must not be used in hazardous areas. The blood pressure measuring
machine must not be exposed to strong vibrations. It must be protected against
moisture and dust. The machine may only be used in dry rooms.
⊗ The machine must be placed in such a way that it can be easily disconnected from
the power supply. The machine can be disconnected at any time by unplugging the
mains cable and enabling the safe mode.
⊗ The machine should not be operated in the immediate vicinity of strong alternating
current fields and heat sources. Do not use the machine in the vicinity of HF surgery.
Avoid strong ambient noise.
⊗ Cellular phones in the immediate vicinity can significantly interfere with the operation
of the machine.
⊗ The cuff must not be placed on a limb to which an IV is connected. Inflating the cuff
can interrupt the infusion process, which could jeopardize the patient's health.
⊗ In order for the blood pressure to be measured, the cuff must briefly suppress the
blood flow in the limb. The pulse can no longer be measured below the cuff during
the measurement process. The tube must not be bent in order to ensure proper
flow. Measurements taken too frequently can result in circulatory disorders.
⊗ The blood pressure cuff must not be worn on the arm on the mastectomy side in
order to prevent congestion and avoid disturbing the lymphatic flow.
⊗ The blood pressure measurement can be influenced by the position of the patient
(lying, sitting, standing), by physiological exertion and by the emotions of the
patient.
⊗ The METRONIK BL-6 should not be used in the following cases:
- for patients who tend to bruise.
- for patients who are expected to develop skin lesions.
- if the cuff would have to be put on
- injured skin
- for newborn infants
⊗ According to the Medical Device Operator Ordinance, a metrological control
procedure must be carried out every 2 years at the latest. Calibration and repair can
only be performed by the manufacturer, by METRONIK SUESS OHG or by a
service provider authorized by METRONIK. An annual interval is recommended for
the STK.
⊗ We would like to emphasize the fact that if some parts become worn or if they need
to be repaired, only METRONIK BL-6 original spare parts must be used.

SPO2-Module
⊗Do not use this module near any MRT or X-ray devices.
⊗Keep the SPO2 module away from flammable gases.
⊗Check all components of the SPO2 module (finger clip, cables etc.) for damages. In
case of damages do not use the device until it is repaired.
⊗Keep the SPO2 module away from any liquid as well as any condensations.
⊗Nail polish or artificial nails can influence the SPO2 measurement. Remove nail
polish or artificial nails before using the sensors.
⊗Do not attach the SPO2 sensor to limbs with blood pressure cuff.
⊗Taking medicine that changes the blood color, the administration of intravascular
dyes or a high concentration of dysfunctional hemoglobin can lead to incorrect
results. ⊗Intense light such as OP lamps, bilirubin lighting, fluorescent lamps,
infrared heat lamps and direct sun light can lead to incorrect SPO2 results.
⊗Using third-party parts can cause malfunction and loss of biocompatibility. Only use
original parts and sensors.
⊗Do not use the device if you suffer from edemas, skin irritations or have an open
wound.
2.2 Instructions for Safe Operation
⊗After delivery, make sure that the machine has not been damaged during transport.
In case of doubt, contact our customer service and do not start the machine.
⊗
Slots and openings on the machine serve as ventilation. Do not cover these openings,
because this can cause the components to overheat.
⊗Always check the power cord for damages before starting the machine.
⊗Switch off the machine after the workout and disconnect it.
⊗When setting up the machine make sure that there is a safety distance of at least 1
m around the machine to prevent danger to others. This also prevents dysfunction
of the heart rate control.
⊗Equipment of the XRCISE LINE MED, series are protected against harmful ingress
of water and solid objects according to IP21
⊗For XRCISE LINE MED the protection guidelines according to EN 60601-1:2006
apply.

2.3 How To Avoid Electrical Shocks
⊗Do not use damaged power cords.
⊗Do not unplug by pulling on the cord.
⊗Switch off and unplug the machine before you open it.
⊗If liquid gets inside the machine, unplug the machine immediately and call the
customer service.
⊗Do not insert any objects in the ventilation slots. This may cause a short circuit.
⊗Don‘t run the supply cable under the machine, neither between the mobile parts or
devices of the machine (e.g. tiltable seat with the XRCISE CIRCLE). The insulation
could be damaged unconsciously.
⊗Warning! To avoid electric shocks these devices must only be connected to
mains with protective earth conductors.
2.4 Choosing the Right Place of Installation
⊗The machine can be set up on any level and stable floor. Make sure that it stands
firmly on the floor.
⊗Never put wood, cardboard or similar materials underneath the machine to
compensate for unlevel surface. This increases the risk of accident.
2.5 What Needs to be Considered in Case of Repair?
⊗Electric parts may only be replaced by original parts.
⊗Repairs must be carried out by a qualified technician only. If you do not have
thenecessary qualifications, contact cardiowise Service Center. Electrical or
mechanical modifications or alterations performed by unauthorizes personnel may
void the warranty.
⊗Do not open the drive system and control system. This will void the warranty.

2.6 Things to be Avoided
⊗Only use the machine for the purposes it was intended for. If you use the cardiowise
for other than the intended purpose, you will be charged for all damages resulting
from this. In this case any warranty is void!
⊗When exercising, you should never go beyond your current fitness level. This may
cause serious health problems.
⊗Never lean on the machine except on the handrails intended for this, and do not
make inappropriate movements. Otherwise you might fall.
Refer to the appendix for a list of the most important safety guidelines. Attach this list near
the machine where it is clearly visible. All users of the machine must familiarize themselves
