Obese patients
A thick layer of fat around a limb blocks the arterial oscillation so that it cannot reach the cuff.
The accuracy is lower than normal.
Environmental Requirements
Measure blood pressure should meet the environment range as follow: ambient humidity
15%~80%, no condensing, ambient temperature 0~45℃, altitude -500m~5000m. NIBP
performance and measurement accuracy will be affected beyond the range.

width should be 40 %( Neonate 50%) of the limb circumference or 2/3 of the upper
arm length. The length of the inflated part of the cuff should be sufficient for
50%~80% around the limb.
 Place the cuff on the upper arm or thigh of the patient, and ensure that the marking
φ is located just above the appropriate artery. Make sure that the cuff does not wrap
too tight around the limb, or it may cause distal discoloration or even ischemia.
