Duo™ Operating Instructions 0070-10-0603-01 vii
Precautions Introduction
CAUTION: A patient's skin is sometimes fragile (i.e., on pediatric and
geriatric patients, or due to physiological conditions). In
these cases, a longer duration between NIBP measurements
should be considered to decrease the number of cuff
inflations over a period of time. In extreme cases, a thin
layer of soft roll or cotton padding may be applied to the
limb in order to cushion the skin when the cuff is inflated.
This may affect NIBP performance and should be used with
caution.
CAUTION: Please consult a physician for interpretation of blood
pressure measurements.
CAUTION: A blood pressure measurement can be affected by the
position of the patient, and his/her physiological condition
as well as other factors, such as patient movement.
CAUTION: Any condition that may affect the regularity and strength of
arterial pressures (such as patient movement, cardiac
arrhythmias, restriction of hose, etc.), will affect the
accuracy and ability to measure the NIBP.
CAUTION: When cleaning SpO
2
sensors, do not use an excessive
amount of liquid. Wipe the sensor surface with a soft cloth,
dampened with a cleaning solution.
CAUTION: Do not subject the SpO
2
sensor to autoclaving.
CAUTION: Do not use SpO
2
sensors or cables that are damaged or
have deteriorated.
CAUTION: Some disinfectants may cause skin irritation. Please rinse
the NIBP cuffs thoroughly with water to remove any
residual disinfectants.
CAUTION: Using dark colored soaps may stain the NIBP cuffs. Test a
single cuff to ensure that no damage will occur.
CAUTION: Disposable NIBP cuffs can be cleaned using a mild soap
solution and dried with a clean cloth.
CAUTION: Replace the Lithium Ion battery with part number 0146-00-
0079 only.
CAUTION: Remove the battery if the Duo is not likely to be used for an
extended period of time.
CAUTION: Remove the battery prior to shipping the Duo.
CAUTION: To avoid permanent damage, do not expose metal
components (e.g., pins and sockets) to disinfectants, soaps
or chemicals.
CAUTION: Only connect NIBP Luer fittings to Blood Pressure Cuff or
Monitor.
