WARNINGS
ABISYS - 6/6
The MESI mTABLET ABI users must be adequately trained to use the device. Before the first use of
the device, users must carefully read the entire instructions for use and follow the instructions for use
of the connected equipment.
MESI TUBELESS CUFF UNITS are a part of the MESI mTABLET ABI system. Before starting a
measurement be sure that you are familiar with all devices and their instructions which are part of
the system.
Before using the device for the first time, read the instructions for use carefully and follow the
recommendations.
The MESI ABI device users must be adequately educated to use the device. The education must
be performed by the trained MESI representative. Before the first use of the device, users must
read the entire instructions for use carefully and follow the instructions for the use of the connected
equipment.
Do not place the cus on wounds, as this may cause additional injury. Only place the cus on the
upper arms and lower legs.
In case of the presence of intravenous cannulas or arteriovenous (AV) fistulas in the limbs, the cus
and measurement can cause injury to the limb.
If the patient has had breast surgery, do not place the arm cu on the side which has been operated
on.
Do not use the device on a patient while they are connected to a vital sign monitor.
Check the pressure in the cu several times during measurement. If the cu puts pressure on the
limb for too long, it can impair the blood flow.
Consecutively carrying out too many measurements may result in injury to the patient.
The MESI ABI must not be used in an oxygen-rich environment.
When repeating the Ankle-Brachial Pressure Index measurement or Blood Pressure measurement
for several times a slight pain may appear at the measurement location. Other eects are excluded.
