Patient Movement
Measurements will be unreliable or can not perform if the patient is moving, shivering or having convulsions. These motions
may interfere with the detection of the arterial pressure pulses. In addition, the measurement time will be prolonged.
Cardiac Arrhythmia's
Measurements will be unreliable and may not be possible if the patient's cardiac arrhythmia has caused an irregular heart-
beat. The measuring time thus will be prolonged.
Heart-lung Machine
Measurements will not be possible if the patient is connected to a heart-lung machine.
Pressure Changes
Measurements will be unreliable and may not be possible if the patient's blood pressure is changing rapidly over the period
of time during which the arterial pressure pulses are being analyzed to obtain the measurement.
Severe Shock
If the patient is in severe shock or hypothermia, measurements will be unreliable since reduced blood flow to the peripher-
ies will cause reduced pulsation of the arteries.
Heart Rate Extremes
Measurements can not be made at a heart rate of less than 40 bpm and greater than 240 bpm.
Round Patient
The thick fat layer of body will reduce the measurement accuracy, because the fat that come from the shock of arteries can
not access the cuffs due to the damping.
Warning
Self-diagnosis and treatment using measured results may be dangerous. Follow the instructions of your physician.
Please hand measurement results to the doctor who knows your health and accept diagnosis.
For Infant and the person who can't express oneself, please use the device under the guidance of a doctor.
Otherwise it may cause accident or dissension.
Please do not use for any other purpose except BP measurement.
Otherwise it may cause accident or holdback
Please use special cuff.
Otherwise it is possible that measurement result is incorrect.
