<strong>Service</strong> <strong>Manual</strong> Safety Summary 3<br />
WARNING Patients who are experiencing moderate to severe arrhythmias may<br />
give inaccurate blood pressure measurements.<br />
WARNING <strong>Spot</strong> <strong>LXi</strong> does not operate effectively on patients who are<br />
experiencing convulsions or tremors.<br />
WARNING Use only Welch Allyn blood pressure cuffs and/or hoses. Using other<br />
manufacturers’ blood pressure cuffs and/or hoses may produce inaccurate blood<br />
pressure readings.<br />
WARNING When several blood pressure measurements are taken on the same<br />
patient, regularly check the cuff site and extremity for possible ischemia, purpura,<br />
and/or neuropathy.<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 for 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.
