GENERAL WARNING
Check the pressure in the cu several times during measurement. If
the cu puts pressure on the limb for too long, it can impair the blood
flow.
Consecutively carrying out too many measurements may result in
injury to the patient.
7.2 MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
The MESI ABPI MD is intended for Ankle-Brachial Pressure Index
measurement. Upper arm blood pressure measurements are for
information purposes only.
Do not use the device when it is wet. After cleaning the device with a
damp cloth, wait for it to dry. Only use the device when it is completely
dry.
The MESI ABPI MD is not intended for use in conjunction with high
frequency surgical equipment.
The AC/DC power supply must be connected to an easily accessible
socket (the AC/DC power supply also serves for galvanic isolation).
A twisted or bent tube can cause high pressure in the cu, which may
result in injury to the patient.
Use of accessories and cables other than those specified or provided
by the manufacturer of this equipment could result in increased
electromagnetic emissions or decreased electromagnetic immunity of
this equipment and result in improper operation.
The MESI ABPI MD must not be used in an oxygen-rich environment.
Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other equipment
should be avoided because it could result in improper operation. If
such use is necessary, this equipment should be observed to verify
that they are operating normally.
Portable RF communications equipment including peripherals such as
antenna cables and external antennas should be used no closer than
30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the device including cables specified
by the manufacturer. Otherwise degradation of the performance of this
equipment could result.
