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.
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.
Do not attach the cuff to a limb being used for IV infusions or any other intravascular access, therapy or an arterio-venous (A-V) shunt. The cuff inflation can temporarily block blood flow, potentially causing harm to the patient.
CAUTIONS
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.
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
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 accura- cy 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.
Disposal: Please dispose of cuff according to local regulations.
