Root NIBPT Safety Information, Warnings, and Cautions
www.masimo.com 15 Masimo
WARNING: Do not use or stop blood pressure measurements if the patient appears to be
affected by the pressurization of the cuff due to a physical condition (i.e. pregnant,
pre-eclamptic, etc.)
WARNING: Too frequent blood pressure measurements can cause injury to the patient due to
blood flow interference.
WARNING: Do not attach the cuff to a limb being used for IV infusions or any other
intravascular access, therapy or an arterio-venous (A-V) shunt. The cuff inflation can
temporarily block blood flow, potentially causing harm to the patient.
WARNING: Before applying the cuff on the patient, confirm the cuff size is appropriate.
WARNING: When a blood pressure measurement error code occurs, any blood pressure values
reported should be disregarded.
CAUTION: Applying the blood pressure cuff over a wound can cause further injury.
CAUTION: A compressed or kinked connection hose may cause continuous cuff pressure
resulting in blood flow interference and potentially harmful injury to the patient.
CAUTION: If the blood pressure cuff is on the same limb as monitoring equipment (i.e., pulse
oximeter probe), the pressurization within the cuff can cause temporary loss of function of the
monitoring equipment.
Optional Integrated Temperature
WARNING: Always use single-use disposable probe covers to limit patient
cross-contamination and/or patient discomfort.
WARNING: Before use, verify the color of the removable probe well to confirm the proper
application site: Red (rectal), Blue (oral/axillary).
WARNING: The use of any other probe cover may produce temperature measurement errors
or may result in inaccurate readings.
WARNING: Do not take axillary temperature through the patient's clothing, direct probe
cover-to-skin contact is required.
CAUTION: Long-term continuous temperature monitoring, greater than 5 minutes, is not
recommended.
CAUTION: Ensure probe well is properly in place.
CAUTION: Biting the probe tip while taking a temperature may result in damage to the
probe.
CAUTION: Use of the incorrect probe at the measurement site will result in temperature
errors.
Note: If a reliable spot check measurement cannot be made, the temperature module will
automatically switch to continuous mode to make the measurement.
Note: Verify the compatibility of the temperature probe and probe cover before use with
Root.
