PRECAUTION:

•TO OBTAIN ACCURATE BLOOD PRESSURE READINGS, KEEP THE

LIMB AND THE CUFF AS STILL AS POSSIBLE.

•NON-INVASIVE BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENTS MAY NOT BE ACCURATE IF THE PATIENT IS CONVULSIVE, EXPERIENCING TREMORS, OR IS DEFIBRILLATED DURING THE MEASUREMENT.

10.PULSE OXIMETRY PRECAUTIONS:

•READ INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED WITH THE PULSE OXIMETRY

SENSOR TO UNDERSTAND THE BEST APPLICATION TECHNIQUE AND ALL RELEVANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

•DO NOT APPLY THE PULSE OXIMETRY SENSOR ON THE SAME LIMB AS THE NON-INVASIVE BLOOD PRESSURE CUFF. DURING BLOOD

PRESSURE MEASUREMENTS, THE PERFUSION IS TEMPORARILY

REDUCED, WHICH CAN RESULT IN INACCURATE PULSE OXIMETRY READINGS.

•BRIGHT LIGHT CAN CREATE PROBLEMS WITH THE PULSE OXIMETRY MEASUREMENTS, RESULTING IN INACCURATE PULSE OXIMETRY READINGS. IF THE SENSOR IS IN A PLACE WHERE IT MAY BE EXPOSED TO BRIGHT LIGHT, COVER THE SENSOR WITH SOME OPAQUE MATERIAL TO BLOCK THE LIGHT.

•PULSE OXIMETRY READINGS MAY BE INACCURATE IN THE PRESENCE

OF TOO MUCH MOTION OR IF THE PATIENT HAS TREMORS. IF

QUESTIONABLE READINGS ARE OBTAINED, RE-CHECK THE VITAL SIGNS BY ALTERNATE MEANS BEFORE TAKING MEDICATION.

11.SHOULD THE AC ADAPTER’S GREEN LIGHT NOT REMAIN ON WHILE PLUGGED INTO AN AC OUTLET, REPORT THE PROBLEM TO YOUR

CLINICIAN AND DISCONTINUE MONITOR USE UNTIL THE PROBLEM CAN BE IDENTIFIED AND CORRECTED.

12.YOU SHOULD NOT RELY SOLELY ON THE MONITOR REGARDING WHEN TO TAKE MEDICATIONS. YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN BEFORE TAKING ANY PRESCRIPTION OR NON- PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION OR CHANGING ANY MEDICATION REGIMENS. VITALPOINT IS INTENDED AS A REMINDER SYSTEM ONLY.
