Accuracy of any blood pressure measurement may be affected by the position of the
subject, his or her physical condition and use outside of the operating instructions
detailed in this manual. Interpretation of blood pressure measurements should be made
only by a physician or trained medical staff.
The RESCUE LIFE NIBP module is designed to work with SunTech
®
cuffs and hoses. The
use of cuffs and hoses not supplied by SunTech
®
may compromise performance and
accuracy.
If the blood pressure cuff is on the same limb as a pulse oximeter probe, the oxygen
saturation results will be altered when the cuff occludes the brachial artery.
To obtain accurate blood pressure readings, the cuff must be the correct size, and also
be correctly fitted to the patient.
Incorrect size or incorrect fitting may result in
incorrect readings.
When a cuff is going to be positioned on a patient for an extended length of time, be
sure to occasionally check the limb for proper circulation. The module may not operate
