4.2 Applying the Cuff and NIBP Measuring
Warning
Before starting a measurement, verify that you have selected a setting appropriate for your
patient. (adult, pediatric or neonate). Do not apply the cuff to a limb that has an intravenous
infusion or catheter. This could cause tissue damage around the catheter when infusion is
slowed or blocked during cuff inflation.
The minimum value of the patient's physiological signal is the lower limit that the device can
measure. The measured result may inaccurate if the device running below the minimum
amplitude or minimum value of patient's physiological signal.
Do not twist or tangle the airway tube, otherwise it will cause continuous pressure in the cuff,
then causing blocked blood flow and serious injury to the patient.
Do not use the cuff on the injured area, otherwise it will cause more serious damage to the
injured area.
Do not use the cuff on the site where intravascular treatment is being performed or with
catheter connection, otherwise it may cause temporary blockage of blood flow and then cause
injury to the patient.
Do not use the cuff on the side of the mastectomy;
