 For patients with severe disturbances of blood coagulation, whether automatically measure the blood pressure
should be based on the clinical evaluation, because limb friction with the cuff may cause the risk of hematoma.
 For severe blood circulation disorder or arrhythmia patients, please use the device under the guidance of a doctor. If
the arm is squeezed during measurement, it may cause acute internal hemorrhage or inaccurate measurement results.
Measurement Limitations
To different patient conditions, the oscillometric measurement has certain limitations. The measurement is in search of regular
arterial pressure pulse. In those circumstances when the patient's condition makes it difficult to detect, the measurement
becomes unreliable and measuring time increases. The user should be aware that the following conditions could interfere with
the measurement, making the measurement unreliable or longer to derive. In some cases, the patient's condition will make a
measurement impossible.
Patient Movement
Measurements will be unreliable or can not perform if the patient is moving, shivering or having convulsions. These motions
may interfere with the detection of the arterial pressure pulses. In addition, the measurement time will be prolonged.
Cardiac Arrhythmia's
Measurements will be unreliable and may not be possible if the patient's cardiac arrhythmia has caused an irregular
heartbeat. The measuring time thus will be prolonged.
Heart-lung Machine
Measurements will not be possible if the patient is connected to a heart-lung machine.
Pressure Changes
Measurements will be unreliable and may not be possible if the patient's blood pressure is changing rapidly over the
period of time during which the arterial pressure pulses are being analyzed to obtain the measurement.
Severe Shock
If the patient is in severe shock or hypothermia, measurements will be unreliable since reduced blood flow to the
peripheries will cause reduced pulsation of the arteries.
Heart Rate Extremes
Measurements can not be made at a heart rate of less than 40 bpm and greater than 240 bpm.
Round Patient
The thick fat layer of body will reduce the measurement accuracy, because the fat that come from the shock of arteries
can not access the cuffs due to the damping

Chapter7 The Usage Method of Sphygmomanometer
7.1 Accurate Measurement Way
Measurement in quiet and relaxing state.
1. Adopt a comfortable sitting position, use back and arms to support the body.
2. Place your elbow on a table, the palm faces up and the body is relaxed.
3. The cuff is level with your heart.
4. Feet flat on the floor, and do not cross your legs.
Advice
Try to measure your blood pressure at the same time each day with the same arm and the same pose for
consistency.
The high and low location of cuff will cause changes in measure results.
Do not touch the sphygmomanometer, cuff and windpipe during measure.
Measurements should be taken in a quiet place and the body relax.
Remain still 4~5 minutes before measurement.
Do not talk and movement during the measurement. Relax the body, do not let the muscle activity.
Wait 4~5 minutes between measurements.
Do not use precision instrument near the Sphygmomanometer.
Warning
When repeatedly measuring, the accurate blood pressure value may not be measured due to congestion in the arm.
Please measure after the blood flow is smooth.
Repeated measurement for a long period of time, limbs rubbing with the cuff may be accompanied by purpura,
ischemia and nerve damage. When measurement a patient, it is necessary to frequently check the color, warmth and
sensitivity of the distal of the limb. Once any abnormalities are observed, place the cuff in another position or stop the
blood pressure measurement immediately.
Please use the device at an environment of suitable temperature and humidity otherwise it will cause measurement
error.
Do not twist or wrap the airway tube. It can cause constant pressure in the cuff which can block blood flow and cause
serious damage to the patient.
Do not use the cuff on the injured area, which will cause more serious damage to the area.
