Bier Block Cuff
WARNING:
In the unlikely event of a complete SmartPump failure, such
as the simultaneous loss of AC and battery power, the SmartPump is
designed to close and lock its internal valves to protect an inflated cuff
from unintended deflation. Deflate by manually disconnecting the cuff.
Failure to comply may result in patient injury.
♦
During initial inflation, if the primary cuff cannot reach or maintain target
pressure prior to anesthetic injection, discontinue use of the cuff.
♦
If, prior to deflation of the primary cuff, the second cuff cannot reach or
maintain target pressure, do the following:
1.
Clamp-off the primary cuff to retain pressure, and disconnect the
fill line. This action will cause the SmartPump to alarm.
2.
Connect the second cuff’s fill line to the fill line connector of the
primary cuff.
3.
The SmartPump will inflate the second cuff to the target pressure.
4.
After confirming the second cuff is at the target pressure, the
clamped primary cuff may be released.
5.
Adjust the Pressure and Cuff Timer as necessary.
