Chapter 6 Parameter Monitoring
--68-- User Manual of Veterinary Monitor
shouldn‘t be more than 40 kPa (300 mmHg) for cuffs for >20 kg and 20 kPa (150 mmHg) for
＜
10 kg.
2) Before measuring, the residual air should be evacuated from the cuff.
3) The part where symbol φ is printed on the cuff should be placed where the arterial pulse is most evident
on the brachial artery for the best result.
4) It is best that the tightness of the cuff should be made so that a finger can be stuck in between cuff and
arm.
5) The lower part of cuff should be 2cm higher than the elbow joint.
2. The subject should be in a horizontal position and the cuff should be placed level with the heart for the most
accurate results, other postures may cause inaccurate measures.
3. Neither movement nor cuff touch is allowed before and during measure and the gas valve connecting the cuff
and the monitor should be guaranteed smooth and without being twisted.
4. Too small measuring intervals are not suitable (optimally longer than 2min), for the excessively short
intervals between continuous measures can cause extrusion of arms, resulting in decreased blood flows and
then decreased blood pressure.
5. It should be judged by considering clinical evaluations to determine whether or not automatic blood pressure
measure is adapted for animals with severe blood coagulation mechanism disorders, for the friction between
limbs and the cuff may cause risks for haematoma.
6 The cuff inflation pressure is automatically regulated by computer based on the last measured values in the
successive blood pressure measure. It is possible that the sphygmomanometer is unable to give any result
after the first inflation when the blood pressure is elevated or the animal is changed; this monitor will
automatically regulate inflations and continue measuring until there are results produced, but the measure
should be conducted no more than 4 times.
7 It should be guaranteed that correct animal categories are selected while measuring 10
～
20 kg and < 10 kg.
Improper selections will possibly put animals into dangerous conditions, for relatively high-pressure > 20 kg
setting is not suitable for 10
～
20 kg animal and <10 kg animal.
8 It is possible that no measure results will be produced when selections for 10
～
20 kg or < 10 kg are
employed for > 20 kg measure, even though no harm will be inflicted.
9 The limbs used by the cuff will be possibly accompanied with purpura, ischemia and neurologic damage due
to drawn-out non-invasive blood pressure measure when the Auto mode is used. Please check the color,
warmth and sensitivity of animal‘s distal limbs regularly while monitoring. Once any abnormality is found,
please relocate the cuff or terminate the blood pressure measure.
Warning

NIBP measures are not allowed for animals with sickle cell disorders and present or possibility of
incurring skin damage.

It should be judged by considering clinical conditions to determine whether or not automatic blood
pressure measure is adapted to animals with severe thrombi disorders, for the limbs used for the
cuff have a possibly risk of haematoma.

Cuff are not allowed on limbs with venous transfusion or cannula, for the transfusion is lowered or
blocked due to the inflated cuff, which will possibly lead to tissue damage around the cannula.

Please use other procedures to check animal
‟s vital signs and then check whether or not the
monitor is working well when the accuracy of the measured results is open to suspicion.
