PRECUATIONS FOR SAFETY MEASUREMENT
The following lists precautions related to measurement. Always consult with a doctor for evaluation of
the results and treatment. Self-diagnosis and self-treatment from results can be dangerous.
Do not measure on an arm receiving an intravenous drip or blood transfusion. This
may cause an accident.
If the arm cuff cover is soiled with blood, dispose of the cover. There is a risk of
spreading communicable disease.
Items that may be contaminated must be disposed of as medical waste.
Do not perform measurement if the arm has external injuries. Not only will the wound
worsen, there is a risk of communicable disease from a hygiene perspective.
Measurement cannot be performed in the following cases.
The patient who has thin or thick arms.
・ Measurement is intended for arms with circumferences of 18 to 35 cm.
The arm of the patient is wet.
・ Wet arms may cause accidents or electrical shock.
Note
Blood pressure measurement may cause subcutaneous bleeding. This subcutaneous bleeding
is temporary and disappears with time.
If thick clothing is worn, correct measurement is not possible. Measure when the patient is
wearing a sleeveless or thin shirt.
If the patient rolls up their sleeve and this pinches their arm, correct measurement is not possible.
Measurement is not possible with patients with peripheral hypoperfusion, very low blood
pressure, or low body temperature (since blood flow to the measurement location is low).
Measurement is not possible with patients with frequent arrhythmia recurrences

Measurement cannot be performed with the following patients.
Patients who have just exercised
・ Blood pressure after exercise is higher than normal.
Measure after the patient has rested for several minutes and has taken deep breaths.
Patients with shaking arms
・ If the patient’s body moves, correct measurement is not possible. Wait until the shaking
stops, and then perform measurement. (This includes shaking fromthe cold or muscle
movements after moving heavy objects.)
Consult the doctor for any of the following situations.
The application of the cuff on any limb with intravascular access or therapy, or an
arterio-venous (A-V) shunt.
The application of the cuff on the arm on the side of a mastectomy.
