Gambro AK 96, Operator'S Manual, Page: 268 / 509

CAUTION
Do not touch the BPM cuff or cuff hose when a
defibrillator is being discharged, as doing so may
cause electric shock.
In the event of accidental wetting of the BPM cuff or
cuff hose connections, wipe immediately to prevent
moisture from entering the machine.
No protective means for burn of the patient are
provided when the BPM is used together with high
frequency (HF) surgical equipment.
CAUTION
In addition to the BPM included in the machine, a blood
pressure measurement cuff and a cuff hose are necessary.
The line from the cuff (cuff hose) is attached to the side of
the AK 96 dialysis machine, see "Blood Part Component
Details", page 2:5 in part 1, look for "BPM Connector"
in the list. The cuff is available in different sizes, see
“Blood Pressure Measurement Accessories", page 1:21
in part 1. The cuff and the cuff hose can be ordered from
your Gambro representative.
It is important to use proper cuff size for accurate
measurements. Use the circumference of the patient’s
arm to determine cuff size. If the bladder is too wide, the
blood pressure reading will be erroneously low; if it is
too narrow, the reading will be erroneously high. Apply
the cuff snugly so that one fi nger can fi t between the cuff
and the patient’s arm.
