Safety Instructions for NIBP Monitoring
M When taking the NIBP measurement of a pediatric or neonate's (less than 10 years old), do NOT operate in
the adult mode as the high inflation pressure may cause lesion or even body putrescence.
M It is recommended to take the blood pressure measurement manually. Automatic measurement should be used
at the presence of a doctor/nurse.
M NIBP monitoring is prohibited to those who have severe hemorrhagic tendency or with sickle cell disease, or
partial bleeding will appear.
M Manual blood pressure measurement is recommended or the automatic measurement used in the presence of a
clinician.
M Confirm your patient category (adult, pediatric or neonate) before measurement.
M Do NOT use the NIBP cuff on limbs with transfusion tubes, intubation or skin lesions, otherwise, damages
may be caused.
M If automatic blood pressure measurement is set for too long, the limb connected to the cuff may possibly
experience purpura, lack of blood and neuralgia. In order to protect patient, it is requested to inspect the luster,
the warmth and sensitivity of the body extremity frequently. On observation of
immediately stop the blood pressure measurement.
M The patient should relax as much as possible during the measurement.
M It's recommended that the 5min should elapse before starting the first measurement.
M The patient should lie in bed or sit in a chair, in order for the cuff and the heart to be at the same level and the
most accurate measurement to be taken. Other postures may lead to inaccurate measurement.
M Do not speak or move before or during the measurement. Ensure that the cuff will not be hit or touched by
other objects.
M The measurements should be taken at appropriate intervals. Continuous measurement at too frequent intervals
may lead to compression of the arm, reduced blood flow and lower blood pressure, and result in inaccurate
measurement of blood pressure. Two minutes measurement intervals are recommended.
M When an adult is monitored, the machine may fail in giving the blood pressure measure if the pediatric mode
is selected.
M Prior to use of the cuff, empty the cuff until there is no residual air inside it to ensure accurate
measurement.
