Safety Instructions for NIBP Monitoring
When taking the measure of an infant or neonate’s (less than 10 years old) blood pressure, do
NOT operate in the adult mode. The high inflation pressure may cause lesion or even body
putrescence.
It is recommended to take the blood pressure measurement manually. Automatic or continuous
measurement should be used at the presence of a doctor/nurse.
NIBP monitoring is prohibited to those who have severe hemorrhagic tendency or with sickle
cell disease, or partial bleeding will appear.
Do NOT bind NIBP cuff on limbs with transfusion tube or intubations or skin lesion area,
otherwise, damages may be caused to the limbs.
Pay attention to the color and sensitivity of the limb when measuring NIBP; make sure the
blood circulation is not blocked. If blocked, the limb will discolor, please stop measuring or
remove the cuff to other positions. Doctor should examine this timely.
Do NOT twist the cuff tube or put heavy things on it.
