Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP) measurement
Warning
If a cuff is used on some patients with an infection, treat the cuff as medical waste, or disinfect before
reuse. Otherwise, an infection may result.
If frequently performing NIBP measurement using a cuff over an extended period of time, periodically
check the patient's circulation. In addition, wrap the cuff as indicated in the cautionary points in this
manual.
Do not connect the NIBP cuff or cuff joint to a luer lock adapter.
Do not bend cuff tube during inflation and deflation, particularly after a change of body position.
Do not wrap the cuff on the following parts:
- An upper arm on which intravenous drip or a blood transfusion is being performed.
- An upper arm on which an SpO
- An upper arm with a shunt for hemodialysis
- An injured upper arm
If measuring blood pressure with the cuff wrapped on the arm on the side of the body where a
mastectomy was performed, check the patient's condition.
Caution
NIBP measurement should be performed on the upper arm.
During NIBP measurement, stop excessive body movement by the patient and minimize trembling.
If a doctor has indicated that the patient has hemorrhagic diathesis or hypercoagulability, check the
condition of the arm after measurement.
Use the appropriate cuff size to ensure correct measurements. If too large a cuff is used, the
measured blood pressure value tends to be lower than the actual blood pressure. If too small a cuff is
used, the measured blood pressure value tends to be higher.
Before and during measurement, verify that none of the following apply to the patient:
- The part where the cuff is wrapped is at a different height than the heart.
(A difference of 10 cm (4 inches) in height may cause a variation in the blood pressure value of up
to 7 or 8 mmHg.)
- Body movement or conversing during measurement.
- Cuff wrapped over thick clothing.
- Pressure on the arm due to a rolled up sleeve.
In the case of a cuff for adults, the cuff should be wrapped to a tightness that allows two fingers to be
inserted in between the cuff and the arm.
The accuracy of a flashing measurement value that is out of the measurement range cannot be
guaranteed. Always check the patient's condition before deciding what steps to take.
Do not use the cuff if it is damaged or has holes.
Only OMRON GS CUFF2 can be used with this device. The use of any other cuff may result in
incorrect measurement.
