Measurement
V To prevent excessive pressure, it is important to choose the correct cuff size.
V To prevent incorrect measurement results, ensure that the tube is not pinched or
compressed.
V The unit is safe during defibrillation. However, as a safety precaution, when
possible remove the cuff and microphone before defibrillation and remove cable
assemblies to the host system.
V Do not touch the unit casing during defibrillation.
V If the unit gets wet accidentally, switch off and dry with a cloth.
V If the unit is accidentally immersed in liquid, remove the external power supply
and the batteries (if installed), and return to SCHILLER for checking.
V In case of long-term monitoring or automatic operation, the connected body areas
of the patient and the extremity to which the cuff is attached must be checked
regularly for signs of ischaemia, purpura, neuropathy.
V Danger of unnoticed necrosis especially in patients with decreased pain
sensitivity (due to medication), or with older patients with decreased blood
circulation of the extremities. Only carry out long-term measurement with these
patients under constant medical supervision.
V The cuff must not be attached to a limb that is already used for interventions such
as infusions.
V To ensure correct arterial pressure, apply the cuff on the same level as the right
atrium.
