5. Make sure that the cuff edge falls within the marked range. If it does not, use a larger
or smaller cuff that will fit better.
6. The limb chosen for taking the NIBP measurement should be placed at the same level
as the patient's heart. If this is not possible, use the following method to correct the
measurement result:
If the cuff is placed higher than the heart level, add 0.75 mmHg (0.10 kPa) to the
measured result for each centimeter of difference.
If the cuff is placed lower than the heart level, deduct 0.75 mmHg (0.10 kPa) from
the measured result for each centimeter of difference.
WARNING
Do not use the NIBP cuff on a limb with an intravenous infusion or arterial
catheter in place. This could cause tissue damage around the catheter when the
infusion is slowed or blocked during cuff inflation.
Make sure the air hose connecting the NIBP cuff and the monitor is not blocked,
twisted, or tangled.
