<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.
