To avoid the Finapres Nova to fall, make sure it is placed on a
flat surface.
The Finapres Nova should be moved from one location to
another using a trolley or similar means
After a patient connected to the Finapres Nova is defibrillated,
the Finapres Nova needs 5 seconds recovery time.
When a patient needs to be defibrillated, remove all applied
parts from the patient before applying the defibrillation pulse to
the patient.
Any blood pressure reading can be affected by the measurement
site, the position of the patient (standing, sitting, lying down),
exercise, or the patient's physiologic condition
Diseases or environmental conditions that result in reduced
finger arterial compliance (diabetes, Raynaud disease, cold
fingers), which causes reduced volumetric pulsations in the
fingers, may lead to an inability to measure blood pressure or
derived variables. This will be detected by the device which will
report an error.
The Finapres Nova is not equipped with auditory alarm signals.
Errors and warnings are displayed at the top of the screen.
Safety and effectiveness in children under the age of 18 and
patients with Raynaud’s disease have not been established.
