NIBP
NIBP measurements
WARNING Patient injury risk. Do not install luer connectors on blood
pressure tubing. Using luer connectors in manual or automated blood
pressure systems creates the risk of inadvertent connection to intravenous
(IV) tubing, which can introduce air into the patient’s circulatory system.
WARNING Patient injury risk. Any external compression of the blood
pressure hose or cuff may cause patient injury, system errors, or inaccurate
measurements.
WARNING NIBP readings may be inaccurate for patients experiencing
moderate to severe arrhythmia.
WARNING Inaccurate measurement risk. Pulse rate measurements
generated through the blood pressure cuff or through SpO2 are subject to
artifact and might not be as accurate as heart rate measurements
generated through ECG or through manual palpation.
WARNING Use caution when measuring blood pressure using
oscillometric blood pressure devices in severely ill neonates and pre-term
infants because these devices tend to measure high in this patient
population.
WARNING Patient injury risk. Inaccurate measurement risk. Do not place
the cuff where it can disturb proper circulation. Do not place the cuff on
any area where circulation is compromised or on any extremity used for
intravenous infusions.
WARNING Possible measurement error. Use only Welch Allyn blood
pressure cuffs and accessories; substitution may result in measurement
error.
WARNING Inaccurate measurement risk. Ensure an airtight seal at all
connection points before use. Excessive leaking may affect readings.
WARNING Inaccurate measurement risk. Minimize cuff movement and
arm motion during readings. Excessive movement may alter readings.
WARNING Inaccurate measurement risk. Properly position the blood
pressure cuff to ensure blood pressure accuracy.
WARNING Inaccurate measurement risk. Only use the cuff when the
artery index marker falls within the printed range indicated on the cuff;
otherwise, erroneous readings will result.
CAUTION Inaccurate measurement risk. Any external compression of the
blood pressure hose or cuff may cause system errors or inaccurate
measurements.
Located in the upper-left corner of the Home tab, the NIBP frame contains data and
features relevant to noninvasive blood pressure measurement. The frame provides
different features, based on the profile you are using.
