- An upper arm on which intravenous drip or a blood transfusion is
being performed.
- An upper arm on which SpO
is attached.
- An upper arm with a shunt for hemodialysis.
- An injured upper arm.
• If measuring blood pressure with the cuff wrapped on the arm on
the side of the body where a mastectomy was performed, check the
patient's condition.
Caution
• NIBP measurement should be performed on the upper arm.
• During NIBP measurement, stop excessive body movement by the
patient and minimize trembling.
• If a doctor has indicated that the patient has hemorrhagic diathesis or
hypercoagulability, check the condition of the arm after measurement.
• Use the appropriate cuff size to ensure correct measurements. If too
large a cuff is used, the measured blood pressure value tends to be
lower than the actual blood pressure. If too small a cuff is used, the
measured blood pressure value tends to be higher.
• Before and during measurement, verify that none of the following apply
- The part where the cuff is wrapped is at a different height than
the heart. (A difference of 10 cm (4 inches) in height may cause a
variation in the blood pressure value of up to 7 or 8 mmHg.)
- Body movement or conversing during measurement.
- Cuff wrapped over thick clothing.
- Pressure on the arm due to a rolled up sleeve.
• In the case of a cuff for adults, the cuff should be wrapped to a
tightness that allows two fingers to be inserted in between the cuff and
the arm.
• The accuracy of a flashing measurement value that is out of the
measurement range cannot be guaranteed. Always check the patient's
condition before deciding what steps to take.
• Do not use the cuff if it is damaged or has holes.
• Only an OMRON GS CUFF2 can be used with this device. The use of
any other cuff may result in incorrect measurement.
