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 correctly if used or stored outside the relevant temperature or
humidity ranges described in the Performance specifications.
