Precautions Introduction
CAUTION: Line Isolation Monitor transients may resemble actual cardiac
waveforms, thus inhibiting heart rate alarms. Check lead wires
for damage and ensure good skin contact prior to and during
use. Always use fresh electrodes and follow proper skin
preparation techniques.
CAUTION: Blood pressure cuffs must be used with the manufacturer’s
correct and approved hoses.
CAUTION: Please consult a physician for interpretation of blood pressure
measurements.
CAUTION: A blood pressure measurement can be affected by the position
of the patient, and his / her physiological condition as well as
other factors, such as patient movement.
CAUTION: Observe caution on all patients (Neonates, Pediatrics, and
Adults), when NIBP is set to STAT Mode or the 1-minute interval,
to minimize the possibility of nerve injury occurring during use
of automatically cycled blood pressure cuffs.
CAUTION: Observe caution when NIBP measurement is performed on
patients suffering from sickle cell disease, or are expected to
have skin injuries.
CAUTION: Observe caution when NIBP measurement is performed on a
patient’s limb with venous transfusion or catheters.
CAUTION: Tissue damage or inaccurate measurements may be caused by
incorrect SpO2 sensor application or use, such as wrapping too
tightly, applying supplemental tape, failing to inspect the
sensor site periodically, or failing to position appropriately.
Carefully read the sensor directions for use, the Passport V
Operating Instructions, and all precautionary information
before use.
CAUTION: Inaccurate SpO 2 measurements may be caused by:
Incorrect sensor application or use
Significant levels of dysfunctional hemoglobins, (e.g.,
carboxyhemoglobin or methemoglobin)
Intra-vascular dyes such as indocyanine green or
methylene blue
Exposure to excessive illumination such as surgical
lamps (especially ones with a xenon light source),
bilirubin lamps, fluorescent lights, infrared heating
lamps, or excessive ambient light. In such cases, cover
the sensor site with opaque material
Excessive patient movement
Venous pulsations
Electro-surgical interference
