6 Introduction Welch Allyn <strong>Spot</strong> <strong>Vital</strong> <strong>Signs</strong> <strong>LXi</strong><br />

WARNING Do not allow a blood pressure cuff to remain on the patient more<br />

than 10 minutes when inflated above 10 mmHg. This may cause patient distress,<br />

disturb blood circulation, and contribute to injury of peripheral nerves.<br />

WARNING Do not place the cuff on any extremity that is used <strong>for</strong> intravenous<br />

infusions or any area where circulation is compromised.<br />

WARNING Excessive cuff tightness may cause venous congestion and<br />

discoloration of the limb.<br />

WARNING Wrapping the cuff too loosely (preventing proper inflation) may result<br />

in errors.<br />

WARNING Do not change the connector(s) on the blood pressure cuff tubing of<br />

this device to luer type. Luer type connectors are commonly used in intravenous<br />

infusion systems. Using the luer connectors on blood pressure cuff tubing<br />

creates the risk that the blood pressure tubing could be mistakenly connected to<br />

a patient's intravenous line, resulting in the introduction of air into the patient's<br />

circulatory system.
