<strong>Service</strong> <strong>Manual</strong> Introduction 3<br />
Blood pressure warnings<br />
WARNING To ensure pediatric blood pressure accuracy and safety, the Welch<br />
Allyn Child Print Cuff (5200-03), the Welch Allyn Small Child Durable One-Piece<br />
Cuff (5082-203-3), and the Welch Allyn Small Child Disposable One-Piece Cuff<br />
(5082-93-3) are the smallest cuffs allowed for use with young children and infants.<br />
The circumference of the child’s arm must fit within the range markings on the<br />
cuff.<br />
WARNING You may experience inaccurate blood pressure measurements if<br />
blood pressure cuffs and/or hoses other than those provided by Welch Allyn for<br />
the <strong>Spot</strong> <strong>Vital</strong> <strong>Signs</strong> are used.<br />
WARNING Patients who are experiencing moderate to severe arrhythmias may<br />
give inaccurate blood pressure measurements.<br />
WARNING When several blood pressure measurements are taken on the same<br />
patient, it is recommended that the blood pressure cuff site and extremity are<br />
checked regularly for possible ischemia, purpura, and/or neuropathy.<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.
