Omron HBP-1100 Instruction Manual page 10

Caution
• NIBP measurement should be performed on the upper arm.
• During NIBP, 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
to the patient:
- An inappropriate cuff size is used.
- 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 CUFF can be used with this device. The use of any
other cuff may result in incorrect measurement.
