NBP Monitoring: Safety Considerations
Safety Considerations
Keep the following warnings and cautions in mind when using the
Accutracker DX noninvasive blood pressure monitor.
WARNINGS
The Accutracker DX noninvasive blood pressure monitor
is designed for use with adult patients only. Do not use
on neonates or on patients known to be susceptible to
bruising.
Do NOT attach the blood pressure cuff to a limb being
used for IV infusions as the cuff inflation can block the
infusion, causing harm to the patient.
CAUTIONS
The blood pressure monitor’s safety and effectiveness in
neonates has not been established.
Blood pressure measurements may be affected by the
patient’s position, physical condition, and other factors.
Do not use the blood pressure monitor if it has failed its
diagnostic self test or if it displays a pressure greater
than zero with no cuff attached. The values displayed by
such a unit may be inaccurate.
If you must ship the Accutracker DX noninvasive blood
pressure monitor for service or other reasons, place it in a
sealable plastic bag, seal it tightly, then package it in a
cardboard box. Label the shipping container “–20 to +50
Deg. C” and ship appropriately. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in device failure due to improper
shipping/storage conditions.
