1-4. Safety Information
If a power failure occurs during measurement, immediately remove the cuff. If the patient's ankle or
upper arm is pressurized for a long time, internal hemorrhaging may result.
Do not attach the cuff on the measurement site below:
•Arm with intravenous drip
•Upper limb in which a shunt is placed in for hemodialysis
Incorrect diagnosis and treatment or an accident may result.
If there is acute inflammation, a pyogenic ailment, or an external wound where the cuff is to be
attached, follow the instructions of a doctor. Symptoms may become worse.
When there is impossibility of test or doubts about the measurement values, please confirm the
patient's condition first. The patient's condition may have deteriorated to the point where
measurement limits are exceeded. Always verify that the cuff and cuff hose are appropriately used
and are not bent or blocked.
If the display continues to show 0, the monitor's pressure may be 0. But if the cuff hose is blocked or
bent there may be air remaining in the cuff. At this time disconnect the hose from the cuff to ensure
that blood flow is not restricted and no disorders occur to the peripheral nerves.
When using the device in combination with another medical device, read the manual of the other
device well and understand all warnings and cautions. Incorrect diagnosis and treatment may result.
Do not use the device in a location with loud noise. Incorrect diagnosis and treatment may result.
Attach the PCG sensor correctly. Incorrect diagnosis and treatment may result.
Take care that the PCG sensor does not fall on the patient. This may cause injury.
Wrap the cuff on bare skin or on a thin layer of clothing. Otherwise internal hemorrhaging may result.
Make sure that the ECG clips are attached in the correct positions. Otherwise incorrect diagnosis
and treatment may result.
Do not use the device near a cellular phone. Incorrect diagnosis and treatment may result.
Do not use in an MRI, CT, X-ray room, an operating room, or other rooms where radio noise is
generated. Incorrect diagnosis and treatment or an accident may result.
Do not use a worn or expired ECG clip electrode or PCG sensor pad. Otherwise incorrect diagnosis
and treatment may result.
(ECG clip electrode and PCG sensor pad have an expiry date. After the expiry date, the pad
becomes dry and incapable of accurate measurement. Use only a pad or electrode whose indicated
expiry date has not passed. Refer to page 12 for how to confirm the expiry date.)
