measurement, continue 5 minutes then stop. During measurement. Any error will stop the
continuous measurement. If the first measurement time is over 4 minutes and 40 seconds but
less than 5 minutes, the continuous mode will stop before 5 minutes, if the first measurement
time is over 5 minutes, the continuous mode will stop after 5 minutes

10.2 Safety Information

Warning

Do not carry out non-invasive blood pressure measurement on patients with sickle
cell disease and skin damage or any expected damage.

For patients with severe coagulation disorder, determine if the automatic blood
pressure measurement is carried out according to the clinical evaluation, since the
friction of body and cuff may produce hematoma.

When measuring on pediatric and neonate patient, ensure that the correct patient
mode (see Patient Info menu setting) is selected in order to ensure that maximum
cuff pressure does not exceed the measuring range of the patient (pediatric mode:
240mmHg, Neonate mode: 150mmHg). Using the wrong patient mode may
endanger the safety of patients because higher adult blood pressure level does not
apply to pediatric and neonate patients.

Do not install a cuff on the limbs with intravenous infusion or duct, because it may
lead to tissue damage around the duct when the cuff is inflated and makes the
infusion slow down or be blocked.

The inflatable tube connecting the blood pressure cuff and the monitor should be
smooth without entanglement.

For patients with severe thrombotic disorders, determine whether to carry out
automatic blood pressure measurement according to the clinical situations, since
the limb bundled with a cuff may produce hematoma.

Do not measure blood pressure frequently, otherwise it will affect the distribution
of blood flow, May endanger the safety of patients.

Check the patient's physiological condition before measure blood pressure, in
order to ensure that long time measure will not damage the circulation of patients

Mastectomy patients，using NIBP cuff to measure blood pressure on the surgery
side arm.
