Indications - Omron HEM-9000AI Instruction Manual

Indications

Indications for use
The HEM-9000AI is intended to measure systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate
in adults with an arm circumference of 17-50 cm (7-20 inches), and to calculate radial augmentation
index (AI). The HEM-9000AI is intended for use in physicians' offices, hospitals, clinics and other
medical facilities where non-invasive blood pressure and radial AI measurements/calculations are
performed on patients and invasive measurement is contraindicated.
The Augmentation Index (AI) function of the HEM-9000AI has not been evaluated on patients
who have intra-ventricular conduction delays (VCD).
Contraindications for use
As with any non-invasive measurement device, there are clinical conditions which can
influence the accuracy of the results. Also, the subject's position, physiological condition and other
environmental factors can affect the measurement/calculation.
The Omron HEM-9000AI Non-Invasive Blood Pressure Monitor with Augmentation Index
should not be used with patients who have the following conditions:
1. Patients with a known arrhythmia
2. Patients with insufficient peripheral circulation, acute cases of low blood pressure or low temperature.
3. Patients who use a pacemaker.
4. Patients experiencing a seizure.
5. Babies or children younger than 18 years old.
6. Patients who should not have blood pressure measurements taken from their arms.
7. Patients with an artificial heart.
8. Patients whose artery cannot be found by palpation.
