Description of NIBP Operation
WARNINGS: For the safety of patients, and to ensure the best product performance
and accuracy, use only the Cuffs and the Hose or a hose provided with the monitor, or
cuff recommended by Schiller Technical Services. Using other cuffs or hoses may
result in inaccuracies.
WARNING: Inaccurate measurements may be caused by incorrect cuff application or
use, such as placing the cuff too loosely on the patient, using the incorrect cuff size, or
not placing the cuff at the same level as the heart, leaky cuff or hose, and excessive
patient motion.
WARNING: Keep patients under close surveillance when monitoring. It is possible,
although unlikely, that radiated electromagnetic signals from sources external to the
patient and ARGUS VCM can cause inaccurate measurement readings. Do not rely
entirely on ARGUS VCM readings for patient assessment.
WARNING: ARGUS VCM is not intended for diagnostic treatment. To ensure patient
safety, use other diagnosis equipments.
WARNING: ARGUS VCM displays results of the last blood pressure measurement
until another measurement starts. If a patient's condition changes during the time
interval between measurements, ARGUS VCM will not detect the change or indicate
an alarm condition.
WARNING: Any excessive patient motion may cause inaccurate measurements of non-
invasive blood pressure. Make sure there is no patient motion affected to blood
pressure measurements.
WARNING: The blood pressure cuff should not be applied to the same extremity as
the one to which an SpO2 sensor is attached, since cuff inflation will disrupt SpO2
monitoring and lead to nuisance alarms.
WARNING: Check the patient's limb on which the cuff is applied to assure that
circulation is not constricted. Constriction of circulation is indicated by discoloration
of the extremity. This check should be performed at the clinician's discretion at regular
intervals based on the circumstances of the specific situation.
WARNING: In some cases, rapid, prolonged cycling of an oscillometric, noninvasive
blood pressure monitor cuff has been associated with any or all of the following:
ischemia, purpura, or neuropathy. Apply the oscillometric cuff appropriately,
according to instructions, and check the cuff site and cuffed extremity regularly when
blood pressure is measured at frequent intervals or over extended periods of time.
WARNING: Never place the cuff on extremity being used for intravenous infusion or
any area where circulation is compromised or has the potential to be compromised.
Never fit NIBP system with Luer Lock adapters.
