Risk of injury from falsified measurement results during non-
invasive blood pressure monitoring!
An incorrectly selected or used NIBP cuff can falsify the results and
lead to patient injuries.
⇒ Always use the NIBP cuff which is best suited to the patient's
limb. Selecting the right NIBP cuff is vital to ensuring good-
quality results.
⇒ Attach the NIBP cuff level with the heart.
⇒ Avoid moving the NIBP cuff during NIBP measurements.
⇒ Do not bend or crush the NIBP cuff and the NIBP connecting
tube.
⇒ Repeat the NIBP measurement if the results appear
questionable. If the results of the repeated measurement are
still questionable, select an alternative method.
⇒ Do not attach the NIBP cuff to a limb on which there is already
a pulse oximetry sensor or another monitoring device.
⇒ Only use undamaged NIBP cuffs.
⇒ Only use the NIBP cuffs and NIBP connecting tubes contained
in the scope of supply and mentioned in the accessories.
⇒ Follow the Instructions for Use for the NIBP cuff
Risk of injury from overly frequent measurements
Overly frequent measurements can lead to circulation problems
and patient injury.
⇒ Select the measurement intervals so that sufficient perfusion is
guaranteed.
⇒ With long-lasting NIBP measurements, check the position of
the NIBP cuff regularly and, if necessary, reposition it
Risk of injury from mutual influence of medical electrical
devices!
Medical electrical devices which are operated directly next to or on
top of each other can cause mutual interference to functionality
and thus patient injury.
⇒ Do not stack the device with other medical electrical devices.
⇒ Do not operate the device in the direct vicinity of other medical
electrical devices (exception: Approved combinations of
devices for MEDUCORE Standard
from WEINMANN Emergency).
