CAUTION
Make sure that the air vent, located next to the air tubing connector on the NBP Pod, is not
covered during operation. If air cannot enter the air vent, the pump may be damaged.
Inspect the application site regularly to ensure skin quality and inspect the extremity of the cuffed
limb for normal color, warmth and sensitivity. If the skin quality changes, or if the extremity
circulation is being affected, move the cuff to another site or stop the blood pressure
measurements immediately. Check more frequently when making automatic or stat measurements.
