• Do not bend cuff tube during inflation and deflation, particularly after a change of
body position.
• Do not wrap the cuff on the following parts:
- An upper arm on which intravenous drip or a blood transfusion is being performed.
- An upper arm on which an SpO2 sensor, IBP catheter, or other instrument is
attached.
- An upper arm with a shunt for hemodialysis
- An injured upper arm
• If measuring blood pressure with the cuff wrapped on the arm on the side of the
body where a mastectomy was performed, check the patient’s condition.
Cautions
• NIBP measurement should be performed on the upper arm.
• During NIBP measurement, stop excessive body movement by the patient and
minimize trembling.
• If a doctor has indicated that the patient has hemorrhagic diathesis or
hypercoagulability, check the condition of the arm after measurement.
• Use the appropriate cuff size to ensure correct measurements. If too large a cuff is
used, the measured blood pressure value tends to be lower than the actual blood
pressure. If too small a cuff is used, the measured blood pressure value tends to be
higher.
• Before and during measurement, verify that none of the following apply to the
patient:
- The part where the cuff is wrapped is at a different height than the heart.
(A difference of 10 cm (4 inches) in height may cause a variation in the blood
pressure value of up to 7 or 8 mmHg.)
- Body movement or conversing during measurement.
- Cuff wrapped over thick clothing.
- Pressure on the arm due to a rolled up sleeve.
• In the case of a cuff for adults, the cuff should be wrapped to a tightness that allows
two fingers to be inserted in between the cuff and the arm.
• The accuracy of a flashing measurement value that is out of the measurement
range cannot be guaranteed. Always check the patient’s condition before deciding
what steps to take.
• Do not use the cuff if it is damaged or has holes.
• Only OMRON GS CUFF2 can be used with this device. The use of any other cuff
may result in incorrect measurement.
Disposal
As there is a risk of environmental pollution, follow your applicable national and local
legal regulations regarding disposal or recycling of this equipment and batteries.
The main constituents of each part are listed in the table “Materials List”.
As there is a risk of infection, do not recycle patient attachments such as cuffs, but
dispose of them as instructed by your facility’s procedures and applicable regulations.
