11.2 Safety information
WARNING
Do not carry out non-invasive blood pressure measurement on patients with
sickle cell disease and skin damage or any expected damage. Do not measure
NIBP on traumatic body part. This may cause further injury.
When pediatric patients are measured, in order to ensure the cuff pressure does
not exceed its maximum measurement range of patient types (Adult mode:
300mmHg and Pediatric mode: 240mmHg), you must ensure that you have
selected the correct patient type (see patient information menu settings). Using
the wrong type of pattern is likely to endanger the patient to patient safety, as
higher blood pressure levels for adults does not apply to pediatric.
For patients with severe coagulation disorder, determine if the automatic blood
pressure measurement is carried out according to the clinical evaluation, since
the friction of body and cuff may produce hematoma.
Do not install a cuff on the limbs with intravenous infusion or duct, because it
may lead to tissue damage around the duct when the cuff is inflated and makes
the infusion slow down or be blocked.
The inflatable tube connecting the blood pressure cuff and the monitor should
be smooth without entanglement. The pressure generated by being kinked
connection tubing may cause blood flow interference.
For patients with severe thrombotic disorders, determine whether to carry out
automatic blood pressure measurement according to the clinical situations, since
the limb bundled with a cuff may produce hematoma.
Measure blood pressure frequently will affect the distribution of blood flow, May
endanger the safety of patients.
Check the patient's physiological condition before measure blood pressure, in
order to ensure that long time measure will not damage the circulation of
patients
For mastectomy patients, applying the NIBP cuff on the surgery side arm can
cause lymphedema. Measure blood pressure on opposite side arm.
Pressurization of the cuff can temporarily cause loss of function of
simultaneously used monitoring device on the same limb.
Measurement results may be affected by posture and mental state of the
patient.
If there are doubts on the measurement results, please use other blood pressure
measurements and compare, if necessary, contact the Equipment Division.
