WARNINGS
Pressurization of the cuff can temporarily cause loss of function if simultaneously used with monitoring equipment on the same limb.
The cuff should not be placed on the patient’s arm on the side of a mastectomy. In the case of a double mastectomy use the side of the least dominant arm.
If luer lock connectors are used in the construction of tubing, there is a possibility to connect the cuff to intravenous fluids, allowing air to be pumped into a blood vessel, potentially causing serious injury. Do not attach the cuff to a limb being used for IV infusions or any other intravascular access, therapy or an arteriovenous (A-V) shunt.
The cuff inflation can temporarily block blood flow, potentially causing harm to the patient.
Following the application of the BP cuff, petechia formation (a minute reddish or purplish spot containing blood that appears in the skin) or Rumpel-Leede phenomenon (multiple petechia) on the arm, which may lead to idiopathic- thrombocytopenia (spontaneous persistent decrease in the number of platelets, associated with hemorrhagic conditions) or phlebitis (inflammation of a vein) may be observed.
As this medical device uses an alternative small-bore connector design different from those specified in the ISO 80369 series, there is a possibility that a misconnection can occur between this medical device and a medical device using a different alternative small-bore connector, which can result in a hazardous situation causing harm to the patient. Special measures need be taken by the user to mitigate these reasonable foreseeable risks.
CAUTIONS
Federal (US) law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a licensed healthcare practitioner
The cuff should not be applied over a wound as this can cause further injury
Do not use cuff if there are any signs of damage. Failure to do so could affect measurement accuracy
Minimize limb movement during the measurement.
Avoid contact with the cuff, other than that of the patient’s limb, while measurement is in progress.
A compressed or kinked connection hose may cause continuous cuff pressure resulting in blood flow interference and potentially harmful injury to the patient
Using an incorrect cuff size could result in erroneous and misleading BP measurement results

APPLICATION

Follow the application instructions for use to ensure the correct size cuff for the patient. Failure to do so will adversely affect the accuracy of the reading.

Place open cuff around the inner portion of the upper arm (or thigh).
Align artery symbol ARTERY to the brachial (or femoral) artery.
Use the RANGE indicator with the INDEX line to check that the limb falls within the specified range of that cuff. If it does not, select a cuff that better accommodates the limb circumference.
Wrap the cuff snugly around the arm (or thigh).
Promptly remove cuff from patient when monitoring is not in progress.

Any serious incident that has occurred in relation to the device should be reported to the manufacturer and the user’s local competent authority

CLEANING PROCESS

Use a fresh solution of STERIS® Prolystica® 2X Concentrate Neutral Detergent with warm tap water (50-60°C).
Immerse the cuff in the solution and hand wash and wipe the shell with a lint-free cloth for 1 minute per side to remove debris, ensuring liquid does not enter tube connector. A soft bristle brush may be used to remove visible soil.
Rinse sleeve with warm water until all cleaning solution is removed, pat dry, and line dry.

DISINFECTION PROCESS

NOTE: Before disinfecting, ensure that no liquid enters tubing by using a plug or taping off.

Spray cuff with Quaternary Ammonium until soaked.
Leave to soak for at least 10 minutes.
Rinse with distilled water, ensuring liquid does not enter tube connector, and line dry.

Disposal: Please dispose of cuff according to local regulations
