18.3 Safety Information
Warning
Before starting the measurements, make sure the selected measure mode applies to your
patients. Using other than the neonatal mode on a neonatal patient may put the patient in danger.
Do not install the cuff on a limb with an intravenous infusion tube or a catheter. During cuff
inflation, if infusion is lowed down or clogged, the area around the tube may be damaged.
Ensure theconnection tubing that attached blood pressure cuff and monitor is with no kinking.
Too frequent measurements can cause injury to the patient due to bloodflow interference.
Do not place the cuff over a wound, as this can cause further injury.
Do not place the cuff on any limb whereintravascular access or therapy, or an arterio-venous
(A-V) shunt is present, as thiscould cause temporary interference to blood flow and result in
injury to the patient.
Do not place the cuff on the arm on the side of a mastectomy.
Pressurization of the cuff can temporarily cause loss offunction of simultaneously used
monitoring equipment on the same limb.
NIBP measurement cannot be performed onthose patients suffering from sickle-cell disease or
skin damage or any anticipated damage.
For a patient suffering from serious disturbance of blood coagulation, the decision to operate
automatic blood pressure measurement must be made according to the clinical evaluation,
because the friction area between body and sleeves has the risk of hematoma.
18.4 NIBP Measurement
18.4.1 Measurement Steps
1. Conenct the NIBP cuff to the monitor and turn on the monitor.
2. Verify that the cuff is completely deflated.
3. Use a cuff with suitable size on the patient. Be sure that the cuff is not too tightly wrapped around the
limb, otherwise it may cause discoloration or even ischemia to the far end of the limb.
