1.3.5.1 Terminating Office Check Mode
Press the START/STOP key twice to cancel a single blood pressure reading. The Office Check
mode is terminated when a blood pressure reading is cancelled.
Any event that prevents a successful blood pressure measurement (other than a manual
cancel) is not counted as one of the five Office Check mode readings.
1.3.5.2 Reinstating Office Check Mode
The Office Check mode may be reinstated in the 90217A.
To reinstate the Office Check mode without initialization of the monitor:
1. Power ON the monitor.
2. Press and hold the START/STOP key when the version displays on the LCD.
3. Release the START/STOP key when EC03 displays on the LCD.
An EC13 will be logged to indicate the time at which the Office Check was reinstated. The
Office Check mode will be enabled for five additional successful measurements.
1.4 Preparing the Patient and Precautions for Use
This unit is NOT for neonatal use, do not use on patients under the age of 3
years.
• The effectiveness of this unit has not been established in pregnant
(including pre-eclamptic) patients and therefore its use in these
circumstances is not recommended.
• Kinking of the tubing can result in interference of blood flow and
resulting harmful injury to the PATIENT caused by continuous CUFF
pressure.
• Excessively frequent measurements can cause injury to the PATIENT due to
blood flow interference.
• Do not apply the CUFF over a wound, as this can cause further injury.
• Do not apply the CUFF on any limb where intravascular access or therapy,
or an arterio-venous (A-V) shunt, is present as temporary interference to
blood flow could result in injury to the PATIENT.
• Do not apply the CUFF on the arm on the side of a mastectomy.
• Pressurization of the CUFF can temporarily cause loss of function of
simultaneously used monitoring ME EQUIPMENT on the same limb.
• Check (for example, by observation of the limb concerned) that operation
of the monitor does not result in prolonged impairment of the circulation
of the blood of the PATIENT.
