Patient Monitor User Manual
5 Do not attach the cuff to a limb being used for IV infusions as the cuff inflation can
block the infusion, potentially causing harm to patient.
6 Do not apply the cuff to a limb where intravascular access or therapy, or an
arterio-venous (A-V) shunt is present, otherwise, it may result in injury to the patient.
7 Ensure that the correct patient type is selected before performing measurements. Do
not apply the higher adult inflation, overpressure limits and measurement duration for
neonatal patients. Not using the neonate mode on a neonatal patient can block the
blood flow, potentially causing harm to the patient.
8 Make sure that the air conduit connecting the blood pressure cuff and the monitor is
neither blocked nor tangled.
9 Measuring of blood pressure can temporarily cause malfunctioning of other medical
monitoring devices on the same limb.
10 NIBP readings can be affected by the measurement site, the position of the patient,
exercise, or the patient's physiologic conditions.
11 Continuous cuff pressure due to connection tubing kinking can block the blood flow,
and may result in injury to the patient.
12 Verifying the calibration is only applicable for adults, and it can not be operated in
automatic measuring interval. Continuous measuring can not be operated in
automatic measuring interval either.
NOTE:
1 It is suggested that the user should not start NIBP measuring when the low battery
displays, or the monitor may be turned off automatically.
2 If you spill liquid onto the equipment or accessories, particularly if there is a chance
that it can get inside the tubing or the measurement device, contact your service
personnel.
3 Continuous use of the automatic measuring mode for short intervals may lead to the
discomfort of patient. Continuous measuring and automatic measuring in neonatal or
pediatric mode may result in tissue damage or ischemia to the patient.
4 NIBP measurement can be affected by extremes of temperature, humidity and
altitude.
5 NIBP measurement value should be explained by qualified professionals.
6 The pulse rate based on the NIBP measurement may differ from the heart rate based
on the ECG waveform. NIBP measures the number of peripheral pulse pulsations,
and the heart rate is measured by the electrical signal of the heart. When the electrical
signals of the heart occasionally fail to cause the peripheral blood vessels to pulse or
the patient's peripheral perfusion is poor, the difference happens.
