Omron HBP-1100 Instruction Manual page 18

Caution
• Make sure the cuff is wrapped in the correct arm position and is at the
same height as the heart.
NOTE:
• If measurement is dif cult due to arrhythmia, use a different blood
pressure measurement method.
• If the patient has acute in ammation, a pyogenic ailment, or an
external wound at the location where the cuff is to be wrapped, follow
the instructions of the doctor.
• Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP) measurement is performed by
compressing the upper arm. Some people may experience intense
pain, or transient spotting caused by subcutaneous hemorrhaging may
appear. The spotting will disappear over time, however, if it is possible
that this will disturb the patient, try the following technique:
- Wrap a thin towel or cloth (one layer) under the cuff.If the towel or
cloth is too thick, there will be insuf cient cuff compression and the
blood pressure value will measure high.
• If the patient moves or the cuff is touched, this may be falsely detected
as a pulse and over-in ation will occur.
• Do not in ate the cuff when it is not wrapped on the upper arm. This
may damage the cuff.
