Safety Precautions
The following are the cautions on measurements and sensors.
Blood pressure measurement
Blood pressure may not be measured when noise, such as consecutive irregular heart
rhythm and physical movement, is present. Check the reliability of the measured value
by displaying or printing the pulse graph.
The instrument takes preventive measures against artifact and shock. However, if you
have some doubts about the measured values, check the blood pressure by other
methods.
Position the cuff at the same height as the patients heart. Otherwise, a measurement
error may occur.
Use the cuff appropriate to the patient's arm circumference. Otherwise, a measurement
error may occur.
The maximum length of the hose is 3.5 (2 m + 1.5 m) meters long. Using a longer hose
may lower the amplitude level of the detected pulse and affect the measurement.
Do not use a twisted or tangled hose as it is. The air may be trapped in the cuff and
cause peripheral circulation disorder by stopping the blood circulation in the arm.
Measuring the blood pressure may cause minor hemorrhaging beneath the skin. The
hemorrhage is temporary and disappears with time.
Do not attach the cuff on a scar. The scar may worsen and cause infection.
Do not attach the cuff on an arm where intravenous drip or blood transfusion is
performed.
Cuff
The cuff contains dry natural rubber.
Natural rubber can cause allergic reactions such as itching, redness, hives, swelling,
fever, breathing difficulty, asthmatic reactions, blood pressure drop and shock. If the
patient exhibits such a symptom, stop using the instrument immediately and seek
medical treatment.
