Warning
Check periodically to see if the circulation from the cuff to the distal part of the patient's
arm is good.
1minute and 2minute intervals When using automatic measurement, check the patient's
condition frequently. It is not recommended for measuring blood pressure for a long time
after the measurement time period is set to 10minutes or less.
Note
Safety Considerations
Software and Hardware for Cuff pressure Blocking:
The cuff is automatically reduced when the measurement time is longer than two minutes in
Adult / Pediatric mode and more than 90seconds in Neonatal mode. Extension limits are set
for all patient categories to prevent overpressure on the patient.
The maintenance is performed every 2 years.
Check the following list devises to operates properly and safety at all times.
1. Check for proper cuff size.
2. Check for residual air left in the cuff from a previous measurement.
3. Make sure cuff is not too tight or too loose.
4. Make sure cuff and heart are at same level, otherwise hydrostatic pressure will offset the
NIBP value.
5.minimize patient movement during measurement.
6. Watch for pulses paradox us.
7. Check for leak in cuff or tubing.
8. Patient may have a weak pulse.
