General Warnings
A warning statement in this manual identifies a condition or practice which,
if not corrected or discontinued immediately could lead to patient injury, ill-
ness, or death.
WARNING: Do not allow a blood pressure cuff to remain on patient for more than 10
minutes when inflated above 10 mmHg. This may cause patient distress, disturb blood
circulation, and contribute to the injury of peripheral nerves.
WARNING: If luer lock connectors are used in the construction of tubing, there is a
possibility that they might be inadvertently connected to intra-vascular fluid systems,
allowing air to be pumped into a blood vessel. Immediately consult a physician if this occurs.
WARNING: Safety and effectiveness with neonate cuff sizes 1 through 5 is not estab-
lished.
WARNING: If this equipment is modified, appropriate inspection and testing must be
conducted to ensure its continued safe use.
