CAUTION: A compressed or kinked connection hose may cause continuous
cuff pressure resulting in blood flow interference and potentially harmful
injury to the patient.
CAUTION: If the blood pressure cuff is on the same limb as monitoring
equipment (i.e., pulse oximeter probe), the pressurization within the cuff can
cause temporary loss of function of the monitoring equipment.
Optional Integrated Temperature
WARNING: Always use single-use disposable probe covers to limit patient
cross-contamination and/or patient discomfort.
WARNING: Before use, verify the color of the removable probe well to
confirm the proper application site: Red (rectal), Blue (oral/axillary).
WARNING: The use of any other probe cover may produce temperature
measurement errors or may result in inaccurate readings.
WARNING: Do not take axillary temperature through the patient's clothing,
direct probe cover-to-skin contact is required.
CAUTION: Long-term continuous temperature monitoring, greater than 5
minutes, is not recommended.
CAUTION: Ensure probe well is properly in place.
CAUTION: Biting the probe tip while taking a temperature may result in
damage to the probe.
CAUTION: Use of the incorrect probe at the measurement site will result in
temperature errors.
