Omron HBP-1100 Instruction Manual page 18

Caution
• Make sure the cuff is wrapped in the correct arm position and is at the
same height as the heart.
NOTE:
• If measurement is difficult due to arrhythmia, use a different blood
pressure measurement method.
• If the patient has acute inflammation, a pyogenic ailment, or an external
wound at the location where the cuff is to be wrapped, follow the
instructions of the doctor.
• Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP) measurement is performed by
compressing the upper arm. Some people may experience intense pain, or
transient spotting caused by subcutaneous hemorrhaging may appear. The
spotting will disappear over time, however, if it is possible that this will
disturb the patient, try the following technique:
-Wrap a thin towel or cloth (one layer) under the cuff.
If the towel or cloth is too thick, there will be insufficient cuff compression
and the blood pressure value will measure high.
• If the patient moves or the cuff is touched, this may be falsely detected
as a pulse and over-inflation will occur.
• Do not inflate the cuff when it is not wrapped on the upper arm. This may
damage the cuff.
