WARNING
Patient injury risk. Any external compression of the blood
pressure hose or cuff or kinked tubing may cause patient injury, system
errors, or inaccurate measurements.
WARNING Inaccurate measurement risk. Ensure an airtight seal at all
connection points before use. Excessive leaking might affect readings.
WARNING Inaccurate measurement risk. Minimize cuff movement and
arm motion during readings. Excessive movement might alter readings.
WARNING
Inaccurate measurement risk. Only use the cuff when the
artery index marker falls within the printed range indicated on the cuff;
otherwise, erroneous readings will result.
WARNING Patient injury risk. Do not place the cuff on the arm on the
same side of a mastectomy. If necessary, use the femoral artery in the
thigh to take a measurement.
WARNING Patient injury risk. Do not apply the NIBP cuff over a wound.
At the start of a measurement, the monitor inflates the cuff to the appropriate level. In
the NIBP frame, the systolic display shows the cuff inflation pressure while the blood
pressure measurement is in progress.
The monitor measures blood pressure as the cuff is inflating. If patient movement,
excessive noise, or an arrhythmia prevent the monitor from determining the blood
pressure while the cuff is inflating, the monitor attempts to measure the blood pressure
while deflating the cuff.
When the measurement is complete, the NIBP frame displays the measurement until
you save it to the patient's record or you start another NIBP measurement.
Note The Pediatric and Adult blood pressure modes are supported on patients 29
days and older. The Pediatric mode gives you the option of setting a lower
initial inflation pressure when using the StepBP deflation and not SureBP.
Note
Use dual-lumen tubes for adult and pediatric blood pressure measurements
and single-lumen tubes for neonate blood pressure measurements.
Mismatching tube types, patient types, and algorithms causes an
information message to appear in the Device Status area. For neonate
patients, set the NIBP settings as follows: Patient = Neonate, Tube type =
1 tube, Algorithm = Step.
Note Welch Allyn uses the following definition of Neonate: Children 28 days or
less of age if born at term (37 gestation or more); otherwise, up to 44
gestational weeks.

WARNING Patient injury risk. Never install Luer Lock connectors on Welch
Allyn blood pressure cuff tubing. Using these connectors on blood pressure
cuff tubing creates the risk of mistakenly connecting this tubing to a
patient's intravenous line and introducing air into the patient's circulatory
system.
