Positioning the NIBPCuff
WARNINGS
Avoid compression, kinking or restriction of the NIBP cuff hose, as the effect of blood
flow interference can result in patient injury caused by continuous cuff pressure.
Do not use the NIBP cuff on a limb with an intravenous infusion or where an arterial
catheter or arterio-venous (A-V) shunt is in place because of temporary interference to
blood flow. This could result in injury to the patient.
Do not place the NIBP cuff over a wound, as this can cause further injury.
Do not place the NIBP cuff on the same or adjacent arm to a mastectomy, or where the
lymph nodes were removed, or if a shunt is on that arm. This can lead to bruising,
inaccurate readings, or negatively impact the drainage of fluids because of temporary
interference to blood flow.

Connecting the NIBP Cuff
WARNING
Routinely inspect the NIBPcuff and hose assemblies for proper connection and orientation.
Replace accessories that have cracks, holes, tears, or cuts that could cause leaks in the
system. If such damaged NIBP cuff or hose assemblies are used, prolonged and/or inaccurate
patient readings could result.
