WARNING:
When placing the arterial catheter into a large artery (e.g. femoral, brachial or axillary
artery) do not advance the tip of the catheter into the aorta.
An intracardiac blood pressure measurement is not allowed. This means that the measuring
position (catheter tip) must not be directly in the heart.
Reuse of disposable items is not allowed. Re-sterilization of disposables may cause infections in
the patient.
