Monitoring NIBP Safety
BP10 Operator’s Manual 6 - 3
6.2 Safety
WARNING
•
Be sure to select the correct patient category setting for your patient before
measurement. Do not apply the higher adult settings for pediatric patients.
Otherwise it may present a safety hazard.
•
Do not measure NIBP on patients with sickle-cell disease or on the limb
where skin damage has occurred or is expected.
•
Do not use the NIBP cuff on a limb with an intravenous infusion or arterial
catheter in place. This could cause tissue damage around the catheter when
the infusion is slowed or blocked during cuff inflation.
•
Do not apply the NIBP cuff on the arm on the side of a mastectomy.
•
Use clinical judgement to determine whether to perform frequent
unattended blood pressure measurements on patients with severe blood
clotting disorders because of the risk of hematoma in the limb fitted with the
cuff.
•
During NIBP measurement, the inflated cuff applies pressure on the
application site. The clinician determines if NIBP measurement is suitable for
the patient.
•
Continuous non-invasive blood pressure measurements may cause purpura,
ischemia and neuropathy in the limb with the cuff. Inspect the application
site regularly to ensure skin quality and inspect the extremity of the cuffed
limb for normal color, warmth and sensitivity. If any abnormality occurs,
move the cuff to another site or stop the blood pressure measurements
immediately.
•
Make sure the hose connecting the NIBP cuff and BP10 is not blocked,
twisted, or tangled.
•
Sustained cuff pressure due to a kinked hose may interfere with blood flow
and could lead to patient injury.
NOTE
•
For known hypertensive patients, you need to set initial cuff pressure to a
higher value to reduce the measurement time.
•
NIBP reading can be affected by the measurement site, the position of the
patient, exercise, or the patient's physiologic condition. If the NIBP reading
seems out of range or inaccurate, determines the patient's vital signs by
alternative means and then verify that the monitor is working correctly.
