Safety considerations
WARNING
The Accutracker DX blood pressure monitor is designed for use
with adult patients only. Do not use on neonates or on patients
known to be susceptible to bruising.
Do not attach the blood pressure cuff to a limb being used for IV
infusions as the cuff inflation can block the infusion, causing harm
to the patient.
CAUTION
The blood pressure monitor’s safety and effectiveness in neonates
has not been established.
Blood pressure measurements may be affected by the patient’s
position, physical condition, and other factors.
Do not use the blood pressure monitor if it has failed its diagnostic
self test or if it displays a pressure greater than zero with no cuff
attached. The values displayed by such a unit may be inaccurate.
If you must ship the Accutracker DX blood pressure monitor for
service or other reasons, place it in a sealable plastic bag, seal it
tightly, then package it in a cardboard box. Label the shipping
container –20 to +50° C and ship appropriately. Failure to follow
these instructions can result in device failure due to improper
shipping/storage conditions.
Setting the measurement interval
When the blood pressure monitor is turned on, it performs a battery voltage check,
then the display shows the following:
INT= 5 (***)
INCR DECR START?
NOTE
The number 5 above represents any measurement interval, including MAN
(manual). When the blood pressure monitor is turned on, the number displayed is
the last measurement interval set as the default.
Use the YES + button or the NO – button on the blood pressure monitor to increase or
decrease the interval (INT) at which the blood pressure readings are taken.
The available measurement intervals are: MAN (manual), or 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20,
25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 90, 120, or 240 minute intervals.
