Non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) accuracy depends on the application of the proper cuff
size. See Chapter 3.0 of the Operating Instructions for detailed information.
The Accutorr V will not operate effectively on patients who are experiencing convulsions or
tremors.
The Accutorr V is a portable device intended for intra-hospital use.
If the pressure cuff is not placed at the patient’s heart level, the NIBP measurement may be
subject to error, due to the hydrostatic effect.
The pulse rate data displayed on the Accutorr V is computed from the measurement of
peripheral pulses (peripheral pulses taken only during a measurement cycle). The rate
measured by the Accutorr V may differ from the rate of an ECG monitor. This is because the
ECG is an electrical signal that may not always result in a peripheral pulse.
Administration of certain vasoconstrictor drugs (for example, norepinephrine), may reduce
peripheral perfusion to a level that prevents the Accutorr V from taking pulse rate
measurements.
Arterial compression, tricuspid regurgitation, or other conditions may reduce perfusion to a
level that prevents the Accutorr V from taking pulse rate measurements.
The presence of arrhythmias may increase the time required to complete a measurement and
may extend this time so that a measurement cannot complete.
The Accutorr V is not intended for use during CPR. The monitor uses an oscillometric
technique based on normal peripheral circulation to compute blood pressure.
