Precautions For Safe Measurement

The section describes precautions concerning the measurement
and sensor. Always consult with a doctor for evaluation of the
results and treatment. Self-diagnosis and self-treatment based on
results can be dangerous.
Blood Pressure Measurement
Ensure the tube is not bent excessively and that air flows
properly. If a bent air hose is used, air pressure may remain the
cuff, which may stop blood flow to the arm.
Do not measure the blood pressure on an arm receiving an
intravenous drip for blood transfusion. This may cause an
accident.
Do not wear the cuff above an external injury. It may cause
damage the wound or lead to infection.
Confirm the condition of the patient if there is measurement
trouble. It guesses that the condition worsens over the limit
of measurement or the bending air hose is stopped air flow.
Measuring blood pressure too frequently may cause bodily
harm due to blood flow interference. Confirm that the
operation of the device does not result in prolonged
impairment of blood circulation, when using the device
repeatedly.
Blood pressure measurement may not be accurate if the
patient has continuous arrhythmia, or moves excessively.
