Warnings

WARNING When taking NIBP measurements, periodically observe the
patient’s limb to make sure that the circulation is not impaired for a prolonged
period of time. Also make sure the blood pressure cuff is properly placed
according to the Propaq Encore Directions for Use or Propaq Encore Reference
Guide
. Be especially careful when using the short-term automatic mode
(TURBOCUF). Prolonged impairment of circulation or improper cuff placement
can cause contusions.

WARNING The range of values measured by the monitoring parameters is
provided in the Specifications section of the Propaq Encore Directions for Use or
Propaq Encore Reference Guide. Operation of the monitor outside the range of
specified values is not recommended and may cause inaccurate results.

WARNING Electronic equipment that emits very strong electromagnetic or
radio frequency signals can cause electrical interference with monitor operation,
including causing the monitor to turn off power. Avoid operating this monitor near
such equipment. For guidance about electromagnetic emissions and the
recommended separation distance between the monitor and such equipment,
refer to the specifications section of this manual.
