• If the unit will not be used for a month or longer, remove the battery
from the unit and store.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the battery.
• Do not apply pressure to and deform the battery. Do not throw, pound, drop, bend,
or hit the battery.
• The battery has positive/negative polarity. Do not insert batteries with their polarities
reversed.
• Do not connect the positive and negative terminals of the battery with a wire or
other metal object.
• Do not use the AC adapter and battery at the same time.
• Use only the specified type of battery.
Cautions
• If battery fluid comes into contact with the skin or clothes, immediately rinse with
water.
• Do not use new and old batteries together, or use different types of batteries
together.
Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NBIP) measurement
Warnings
• If a cuff is used on some patients with an infection, treat the cuff as medical waste,
or disinfect before reuse. Otherwise, an infection may result.
• If frequently performing NIBP measurement using a cuff over an extended period of
time, periodically check the patient’s circulation. In addition, wrap the cuff as
indicated in the cautionary points in this manual.
• Do not connect the NIBP cuff or cuff joint to a luer lock adapter.
• Do not bend cuff tube during inflation and deflation, particularly after a change of
body position.
• Do not wrap the cuff on the following parts:
- An upper arm on which intravenous drip or a blood transfusion is being performed.
- An upper arm on which SpO2 sensor, IBP catheter, or other instrument is attached.
- An upper arm with a shunt for hemodialysis.
- An injured upper arm.
• If measuring blood pressure with the cuff wrapped on the arm on the side of the
body where a mastectomy was performed, check the patient’s condition.
Cautions
• NIBP measurement should be performed on the upper arm.
• During NIBP measurement, stop excessive body movement by the patient and
minimize trembling.
• If a doctor has indicated that the patient has hemorrhagic diathesis or
hypercoagulability, check the condition of the arm after measurement.
• Use the appropriate cuff size to ensure correct measurements. If too large a cuff is
used, the measured blood pressure value tends to be lower than the actual blood
pressure. If too small a cuff is used, the measured blood pressure value tends to be
higher.
• Before and during measurement, verify that none of the following apply to the
patient:
