Safety Precautions for Using the Equipment
 Measuring on a limb with SpO
2
sensor, arterial catheter, or intracatheter may result in incorrect measurement.

An operator must not get away from a patient during the NIBP measurement. However, when getting away
from the patient is necessary, do not activate the Alarm Suspend and Silence functions in order not to miss any
sudden changes in the patient's condition.
 Pay attention when measuring the NIBP of patient with bleeding disorders or hyper coagulation. The cuff
inflation may cause petechia or circulatory failure by the blood clot.
 For the following situation, measurements will be terminated.

When the measurement time has exceeded 160 seconds for adult and child, 80 seconds for neonate.
 When the inflation value has exceeded 300mmHg for adult, 210mmHg for child, and 150mmHg for neonate.

If used with the incorrect patient classification, it will not only cause erroneous measurement, but the inflating
level for the adult may be applied to child or neonate causing dangerous situation to the patient.

The continuous measurement and 1-minute interval measurement will automatically stop after 12 minutes
(maximum 15 minutes).

If the mean MAP display is set to OFF, the MAP alarm will not be generated. Also the MAP data will not be
displayed for the tabular trend or the NIBP list.
Precautions about the BP Monitoring
 Do not reuse / re-sterilize the disposable type transducers.
 If using a reusable blood pressure transducer, disinfect it according to the manufacturer's guidelines.
 The long-term use of the blood pressure transducer, tube and catheter may increase the risk of infection.
Perform periodic replacement with new one. The guidelines of the CDC (Disease Control and Prevention)
recommend replacing within 96 hours.
 If the ambient temperature of the blood pressure transducer has changed greatly, the zero balance may cause
the drift. Perform the zero balance again.
 An operator must not get away from a patient during the BP measurement. However, when getting away from
the patient is necessary, do not activate the Alarm Suspend and Silence functions in order not to miss any
sudden changes in the patient's condition.
 Be sure to perform Daily Check. Use of faulty equipment might harm the patient or operator.
 If the Equipment Status Alarm occurs or if you feel the unusual operation of the equipment, perform the
inspections to confirm the safety or contact our service representative.
 If the transducer get disconnected, pay attention that the metal part of the transducer does not get in touch with
any metal parts of the bed or any conductive parts. Also, the operator should not touch the conductive parts
with bare hands. Otherwise, it may result in electric shock to the patient and/or operator.
 When the power is turned ON, the BP value will not be displayed until zero balance is performed. Make sure
to perform the zero balance. Once the zero balance is performed, the zero balance information will be
maintained, and the BP value will be displayed.
 Each time the blood pressure transducer or tubing is replaced, the zero balance procedure is required to ensure
accurate measurements.
 The zero balance procedure is required for the following case.
 When starting the measurement.
 When the position of the heart has changed due to body movement.
 When the position of the transducer has changed.
 When measuring for a long period of time and there is a possibility of measurement error due to change in
ambient temperature, etc.
 When a connector is connected/disconnected, or a transducer is replaced.
 Note that Systolic Pressure (SYS) = Peak Systolic Pressure (PSP) for the graphic trend, data base, and alarm
setup.
