Figure 3.3 Cuff Placement
Safety Instructions for NIBP Monitoring
When taking the measurement of an infant’s (less than 10 years old) blood pressure,
do NOT operate in the adult mode. The high inflation pressure may cause lesion or
even body putrescence.
It is recommended to take the blood pressure measurement manually. Automatic
measurement should be used at the presence of a doctor/nurse.
NIBP monitoring is prohibited to those who have severe hemorrhagic tendency or
with sickle cell disease, or partial bleeding will appear.
Pay attention to the color and sensitivity of the limb when measuring NIBP; make
sure the blood circulation is not blocked. If blocked, the limb will discolor, please
stop measuring or remove the cuff to other positions. Doctor should examine this
timely.
Confirm your patient category (adult or pediatric) before measurement.
Do NOT bind NIBP cuff on limbs with transfusion tube or intubations or skin lesion
area, otherwise, damages may be caused to the limbs.
The time of the automatic pattern noninvasive blood pressure measurement pull too
long, then the body connected with the cuff possibly have the purpura, lack the
blood and the neuralgia. When guarding patient, must inspect the luster, the warmth
and the sensitivity of the body far-end frequently. Once observes any exception,
please immediately stop the blood pressure measurement.

The subject should lie on the back so that the cuff and the heart are in a horizontal
position and the most accurate measure is taken. Other postures may lead to inaccurate
measurement.

Do not speak or move before or during the measurement. Care should be taken so that
the cuff will not be hit or touched by other objects.

The measures should be taken at appropriate intervals. Continuous measurement at too
short intervals may lead to pressed arm, reduced blood flow and lower blood pressure,
and resulting inaccurate measure of blood pressure. It is recommended the measure be
taken at intervals of more than two minutes.
When an adult subject is monitored, the machine may fail in giving the blood pressure
measure if the infant mode is selected.
Prior to use of the cuff, empty the cuff until there is no residual air inside it to ensure
accurate measurement.
Do NOT twist the cuff tube or put heavy things on it.

When unplugging the cuff, hold the head of the connector and pull it out.
The symbol indicates that the cable and accessories are designed to have special

-11-
protection against electric shocks, and is defibrillator proof.
3.3.2 SpO2Sensor Connection
SpO2sensor is a very delicate part. Please follow the steps and procedures in operating it. Failure
to operate it correctly can cause damage to the SpO2sensor.
Operation procedure:
1. Connect the SpO2sensor to the connector labeled “SpO2”. When unplugging the
probe, be sure to hold the head of the connector and pull it out.
2. If the finger clip SpO2sensor is used, insert one finger into the sensor (index finger,
middle finger or ring finger with short nail length) as shown in the figure below.
Figure 3.4 Finger clip SpO2sensor placement
When selecting a sensor, consider the patient’s category, adequacy of perfusion, availability of
probe site and anticipated monitoring duration. Use only SpO2probes provided by our company
with this monitor. Read the following table for SpO2probe information. Refer to Chapter 11.4 for
the detailed instructions of each SpO2probe.
Part No. SpO2Probe Patient Category
15044041 SpO2Finger clip Sensor (reusable) Pediatric
15044038 SpO2Finger rubber Sensor(reusable) Adult
15044034 SpO2Finger clip Sensor(reusable) Adult
High ambient light sources such as surgical lights (especially those with a xenon light source),
bilirubin lamps, fluorescent lights, infrared heating lamps, and direct sunlight can interfere with the
performance of a SpO2sensor. To prevent interference from ambient light, ensure that the sensor
is properly applied, and cover the sensor site with opaque material.
Failure to take this action in high ambient light conditions may result in inaccurate measurements.
If patient movement presents a problem, verify that the sensor is properly and securely applied;
move the sensor to a less active site; use an adhesive sensor that tolerates some patient motion;
or use a new sensor with fresh adhesive backing.
For reusable sensors, follow the sensor directions for use for cleaning and reuse. For single-patient

-12-
use sensors, use a new sensor for each patient. Do not sterilize any sensor by irradiation, steam, or
ethylene oxide.
Safety Introductions for SpO2Monitoring
Continuous use of SpO2sensor may result in discomfort or pain, especially for those
with microcirculatory problem. It is recommended that the sensor should NOT be
applied to the same place for over two hours, change the measuring site periodically
if necessary.
SpO2measuring position must be examined more carefully for some special patient.
Do NOT place the SpO2sensor on the finger with edema or fragile tissue.
If sterile packaging of SpO2sensor is damaged, do not use it any more.
Check the SpO2sensor and cable before use. Do NOT use the damaged SpO2sensor.
