Warnings and Precautions
Warning
- A warning statement in this manual identifies a condition or practice which, if not corrected or discontinued immediately
could lead to patient injury, illness, or death.
Warning
- Do not allow a blood pressure cuff to remain on patient for more than 10 minutes when inflated above 10 mmHg.
This may cause patient distress, disturb blood circulation, and contribute to the injury of peripheral nerves.
Warning
- If luer lock connectors are used in the construction of tubing, there is a possibility that they might be inadvertently con-
nected to intravascular fluid systems, allowing air to be pumped into a blood vessel. Immediately consult a physician if this occurs.
Warning
-
For all blood pressure systems that can be wall mounted (Diagnostix
TM
952B), ensure that the unit is securely mounted
prior to use to avoid damage to the instrument and potential patient injury.
Warning
-
Safety and effectiveness with neonate cuff sizes 1 through 5 is not established.
Caution
-
Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician or licensed healthcare practitioner.
Warning
-
Do not twist connectors when joining the blood pressure cuff to tubing as this may cause the connector to stick and
make changing the blood pressure cuff difficult.
Warning:
When using with an infant or child cuff, extra care must be taken to prevent over-inflation. With smaller cuffs (infant
or child) the cuff can inflate to over 300mmHg with just two full compressions of the bulb.To prevent discomfort or injury to the
patient and damage to the instrument, bulb should only be partially squeezed, so that each “stroke” inflates the cuff in 40mmHg
to 60mmHg increments until inflated to the desired level.
Warning
-
This Product May Contain A Chemical Known To The State of California To Cause Cancer, Birth Defects, Or Other Re-
productive Harm.
