NBP Safety Considerations
WARNING:
z Changes in the cuff position relative to the heart level
affect measurements. If the cuff is not placed at heart
level, add +1.4 mmHg for each 2 cm above the heart and
subtract -1.4 mmHg for each 2 cm below the heart. Make
sure that the hose is not kinked or obstructed. Do not
place the cuff on a limb with an infusion line.
z In some cases, rapid and prolonged measurements can
result in petechia, ischemia, purpura or neuropathy.
Dräger recommends that you apply the cuff
appropriately and that you check the cuff site regularly
when monitoring at frequent intervals or over extended
periods of time. In addition, check the patient for signs
of impeded blood flow in the limb.
z NBP measurements may not be accurate with
convulsive patients or patients with tremors.
CAUTION: Do not allow the hose or cuff to get in contact with fluids. Check the hose
and cuff frequently for signs of damage and debris. An obstruction in the hose may
cause the cuff to inflate and deflate improperly and may result in inaccurate readings.
NOTE: To obtain accurate blood pressure readings, keep the limb and cuff
motionless. To protect patients from extremely high cuff pressures and extended cuff
inflation, the cuff deflates automatically in the following conditions:
z The cuff pressure exceeds 273 mmHg in Adult 270 inflation mode, or 180
mmHg in Pediatric 180 inflation mode.
z The cuff pressure exceeds 150 mmHg in Neo 140 inflation mode.
z The measurement takes longer than 2 minutes for Adult 270 or Pediatric 180
inflation modes.
z The measurement takes longer than 90 seconds (or longer than 60 seconds in
French NFC mode) for Neo 140 inflation mode.
z A technical alarm has occurred.
