Welch Allyn ProBP 2400 digital blood pressure device
NIBP (non-invasive blood pressure) warnings and cautions
WARNING ProBP 2400 is not intended to measure blood pressure on children
younger than 3 years of age.
WARNING Do not compress the blood pressure hose or cuff. This may cause system
errors or patient safety risks to occur.
WARNING Inaccurate measurement risk. Do not use the device on patients who are
experiencing convulsions or tremors.
WARNING Use only blood pressure cuffs and hoses listed as approved accessories
to ensure safe and accurate of blood pressure measurements.
WARNING Patient injury risk. When several blood pressure measurements are
taken on the same patient, regularly check the cuff site and extremity for possible
ischemia, purpura, and/or neuropathy.
WARNING Do not allow a blood pressure cuff to remain on the patient more than
5 minutes when inated above 15 mmHg. Excessive cuff tightness may cause
venous congestion, peripheral nerve injury, discoloration of the limb, and patient
distress.
WARNING Patient injury risk. Never install Luer Lock connectors on Welch Allyn
blood pressure tubing. Using these connectors on blood pressure cuff tubing
creates the risk of mistakenly connecting this tubing to a patient’s intravenous line
and introducing air into the patient’s circulatory system.
WARNING NIBP measurements may be inaccurate in the presence of excessive
motion artefact. Minimize extremity and cuff motion during blood pressure readings.
WARNING The position and physiologic condition of the subject can affect a blood
pressure reading.
CAUTION If the blood pressure cuff is not at heart level, note the difference in reading
due to the hydrostatic effect.
CAUTION Proper blood pressure cuff size and placement is essential to the accuracy
of the blood pressure determination. See Blood pressure cuff selection for sizing
information.
CAUTION The blood pressure cuff must be properly positioned to ensure blood
pressure accuracy and patient safety. Wrapping the cuff too loosely (preventing
proper ination) may result in inaccurate blood pressure readings.
CAUTION The patients should be comfortably seated, legs uncrossed, feet at on
the oor, back and arm supported. The middle of the cuff should be at the level of
the heart.
CAUTION Recommend the patients to sit down and relax for at least 5 minutes prior
to the measurement and not talk during the measurement procedure.
