Check the application site of the SpO
2
sensor frequently to confirm proper positioning of the sensor and to check the
circulation and skin sensitivity of the patient.
Wireless Networking
When connecting this device to a wireless network, it is important to use only the hardware specified by SunTech
Medical (see Accessories section for details). Unsupported USB accessories, including unsupported Wireless
adapters, have been intentionally disabled and will not function with this device.
Possible Adverse Reactions
In the area of the BP cuff or SpO
2
sensor, allergic exanthema (symptomatic eruption) may result, including the
formation of urticaria (allergic reaction including raised edematous patches of skin or mucous membrane and
intense itching) caused by the fabric material of the cuff or sensor.
Following the application of the BP cuff, petechia formation (a minute reddish or purplish spot containing blood that
appears in the skin) or Rumpel-Leede phenomenon (multiple petechia) may appear on the arm, which may lead to
idiopathic-thrombocytopenia (spontaneous persistent decrease in the number of platelets, associated with
hemorrhagic conditions) or phlebitis (inflammation of a vein).
Warnings and Cautions
WARNING:
Do not attach the cuff to a limb being used for IV infusions or any other intravascular access, therapy or
an arteriovenous (A-V) shunt. The cuff inflation can temporarily block blood flow, potentially causing harm to the
patient.
WARNING:
Pressurization of the cuff can temporarily cause loss of functionality of SpO
2
if simultaneously using
device on the same limb.
WARNING:
Not designed for neonates.
WARNING:
Do not apply the BP cuff to a limb being used for IV infusions as the cuff inflation can temporarily block
the infusion, causing harm to the patient.
WARNING:
Check frequently by observing the limb that operation of the AUTOMATED SPHYGMOMANOMETER does
not result in prolonged impairment of the circulation of the patient.
WARNING:
The cuff should not be applied over a wound as this can cause further injury.
WARNING:
The cuff should not be placed on the arm on the side of a mastectomy. In the case of a double
mastectomy use the side of the least dominant arm.
WARNING:
The CT40 is NOT defibrillator protected.
WARNING:
Do not use in the presence of flammable anesthetics or other flammable substances in combination with
air, oxygen-enriched environments, or nitrous oxide.
WARNING
: Do not use the device if it has failed its diagnostics self test, or if it displays a greater than zero pressure
with no BP cuff attached or a value of oxygen saturation with no SpO
2
sensor attached.
WARNING:
Do not use if device is dropped and/or damaged. Have a qualified service representative check the unit
before using again.
WARNING:
Do not remove unit covers. Doing so may cause electrical shock to the user. The device does not contain
any user serviceable components.
WARNING:
Do not immerse the device in any fluid, place fluids on top, or attempt to clean the unit with any liquid
detergents, cleaning agents, or solvents. This may cause an electrical hazard. Refer to the cleaning section of this
guide for instructions on cleaning. If any of these situations apply, please contact SunTech Medical.
