Safety and Effectiveness Warnings
Make sure that you are familiar with all Safety and Effectiveness considerations before
using the ABPM 6100 monitor.
IMPORTANT WARNINGS
The following warnings apply to the ABPM 6100 Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitors:
Warning
Patient Injury risk. Do not place the cuff on any area where
circulation is compromised. Instruct the patient to remove the cuff
immediately and notify the doctor if they are experiencing pain,
swelling, redness or numbness in the limb where the cuff is placed
as this may indicate compromised circulation.
The ABPM 6100 has not been designed for use with high
frequency (HF) surgical equipment and does not protect against
hazards to the patient.
Ensure the location of the ABPM 6100 provides maximum
separation away from all sources of high-frequency energy.
DO NOT use the ABPM 6100 monitor in the presence of flammable
anaesthetics due to risk of explosion.
DO NOT immerse the ABPM 6100 monitor in any fluid, place any
fluid on the monitor, or attempt to clean either monitor with liquid
detergents or cleaning agents. If any of these instances occurs,
return the unit to an authorized Welch Allyn Service Center. The
ABPM 6100 may be cleaned with a damp cloth only.
DO NOT remove the ABPM 6100 covers. Neither unit contains any
serviceable parts.
DO NOT use the monitor if it has failed any diagnostic self-test.
DO NOT use the unit if it displays a pressure greater than zero
when no cuff is attached. This could lead to inaccurate
measurements.
DO NOT attach the cuff to a limb being used for intravenous
infusions. This may cause the infusion to be blocked and cause the
patient harm.
DO NOT substitute any component for those supplied by Welch
Allyn.
DO NOT attempt to repair the unit yourself. Repairs should be
performed only by authorized Welch Allyn Service Centers
DO NOT attach the cuff to a patient while the PC Serial Connector
