NIBP (non-invasive blood pressure) warnings and cautions
WARNING: The e-sphyg 3 is not intended to measure blood pressure on
children younger than three years of age.
WARNING: Do not compress the blood pressure hose or cuff during
measurement. This may cause system errors or patient safety risks.
WARNING: Inaccurate measurement risk. Do not use the device on
patients who are experiencing convulsions or tremors.
WARNING: Use only blood pressure cuffs and hoses listed as approved
accessories to ensure safe and accurate blood pressure measurements.
WARNING: Patient injury risk. When several blood pressure measure-
ments are taken on the same patient, regularly check the cuff site and
extremity for possible ischemia, purpura, and/or neuropathy.
WARNING: Do not allow a blood pressure cuff to remain on the patient
more than five minutes when inflated above 15 mmHg. Excessive cuff
tightness may cause venous congestion, peripheral nerve injury,
discoloration of the limb, and patient distress.
WARNING: Patient injury risk. Never install luer connectors on ADC
blood pressure tubing as it can create the risk of mistakenly connecting
the tubing to a patient’s intravenous line and introducing air into the
patient’s circulatory system.
WARNING: NIBP measurements may be inaccurate in the presence of
excessive motion artifact. Minimize extremity and cuff motion during
blood pressure measurement.
WARNING: The position and physiologic condition of the subject can
affect a blood pressure reading.
