Avoiding Injury to Subjects and
Personnel
• Selecting a properly-sized finger cuff and correct placement of the
cuff on a finger are critical for success. Finger cuff s should not be
applied to any body part other than the fingers.
• Accuracy of measurement on a toe has not been established.
• An inflated finger cuff applied to the wrist causes congestion of
blood in the distal circulation of the hand, which may become
painful and restricts distal oxygenation.
• Do not wrap finger cuff s around a toe or the wrist of an infant.
• For safe and reliable operation and optimal accuracy, only use
finger cuff s supplied by ADInstruments and Finapres Medical
Systems B.V.
General Safety Instructions
To achieve the optimal degree of subject and operator safety, consideration
should be given to the following guidelines when setting up a Human NIBP
Nano system either as stand-alone equipment or in conjunction with
other equipment. Failure to do so may compromise the inherent safety
measures designed into the Human NIBP Nano System.
The following guidelines are based on principles outlined in the
international safety standard IEC60601-1-1: General requirements for safety
- Collateral standard: Safety requirements for medical systems. Reference to
this standard is required when setting up a system for human connection.
The Human NIBP Nano system requires the connection of a personal
computer for operation. This personal computer should be certified as
complying with IEC60950 and should be located outside a 1.8 m radius
from the subject (so that the subject cannot touch it while connected
to the system). Within this 1.8 m radius, only equipment complying with
IEC60601-1 should be present. Connecting a system in this way obviates
the provision of additional safety measures and the measurement of
leakage currents.
Accompanying documents for each piece of equipment in the system
should be thoroughly examined prior to connection of the system.
