WARNING
Prolonged, excessive, or incorrect use of the BpTRU
may lead to tissue injury, venous pooling, and
impairment of circulation in the arm of the patient.
If the low-battery indicator appears, a maximum of 20
blood pressure measurements may be taken before the
BpTRU prevents further operation. Plug the BpTRU into
a wall outlet to charge the battery. Note that it is still
possible to perform measurements while the battery is
charging.
To allow auto-calibration to complete, wait at least 5
seconds after turning on the monitor before pressing the
BP Start button.
Obtaining Accurate BP Measurements
Careful patient treatment and use of the BpTRU will
result in more accurate blood pressure measurements.
