1. Patient Position
The patient should sit or lie comfortably. The arm should be supported
on a flat surface at heart level. (If the arm’s position varies, or is not
level with the heart, measurement values obtained will not be consistent
with patient’s true blood p re s s u r e). Observer should view manometer (gauge)
in a direct line to avoid ‘‘parallax erro r ’’ .

C a u t i o n - Do not allow a blood pre s s u r e 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 nerv e s .
Wa r n i n g - If luer lock connectors are used in the construction of tubing, there is a possibility that
they might be inadvertently connected to intravascular fluid systems, allowing air to be pumped
into a blood vessel.
C a u t i o n - To obtain the greatest accuracy from your blood pre s s u r e instrument, it is re c o m m e n d e d
that the instrument be used within a temperature range of 50°F (10°C) to 104°F (40°C), with a re l a t i v e
humidity range of 15-90% (non-condensing).
