Caution
The ABPM 6100 is intended to be used as an ambulatory blood
pressure recorder that is sent home with the patient to record their
blood pressure over a 24 hour period. It is used to gather trending
information in non-critical settings.
It is not intended to provide clinicians with real time monitoring of
patients in an ER or critical care environment.
The ABPM 6100 monitors are not intended for use on pregnant
women or neonates.
The ABPM 6100 units may not yield accurate blood pressure
measurements for patients experiencing moderate to severe
arrhythmias.
Check to ensure that the operation of the unit does not result in
prolonged impairment of the patient’s circulation. Instruct the patient
to manually remove the cuff if it fails to deflate within three minutes.
Avoid compression or restriction of pressure tubes.
The ABPM 6100, the cuff and tubing are defibrillator protected. The
ABPM 6100 has no specific precautions during defibrillation, and
defibrillation has no effect on the ABPM 6100 monitor.
