CAUTION
Only use parts and accessories specified in this manual. Follow the instructions for use and adhere to
all warnings and cautions.
Accuracy of NIBP measurement depends on using a cuff of proper size. It is essential to measure limb
circumference and choose a cuff with proper size.
13.3 NIBP Measurement Limitations
Measurements are impossible with heart rate extremes of less than 30 bpm or greater than 300 bpm, or if the
patient is on a heart-lung machine. The measurement may be inaccurate or impossible in the following
situations:
Regular arterial pressure pulses are hard to detect
With excessive and continuous patient movement such as shivering or convulsions
With cardiac arrhythmias
With rapid blood pressure changes
With severe shock or hypothermia that reduces blood flow to the peripheries
On an edematous extremity.
NOTE
The effectiveness of this sphygmomanometer has not been established in pregnant, including pre-
eclamptic patients.
