• Check the circulation condition by observing the skin color of the
measuring site and pulse waveform.  Change the measuring site
every 8 hours for disposable probes and every 4 hours for
reusable probes.  The skin temperature may increase at the
attached site by 2 or 3°C (4 or 5°F) and cause a burn or pressure
necrosis.  When using the probe on the following patients, take
extreme care and change the measurement site more frequently
according to symptoms and degree.
• A patient with a fever
• A patient with peripheral circulation insufficiency
• Neonate or low birth weight infant with delicate skin
CAUTION
• NIBP and SpO

 can be measured on the same limb, but the SpO
2
monitoring may not be accurate during NIBP measurement.  Be
careful when reading the SpO
2
 values.
• If the attachment site is dirty with blood or bodily fluids, clean the
attachment site before attaching the probe.  If there is nail polish
on the attachment site, remove the polish.  Otherwise, the amount
of transmitted light decreases, and measured value may be
incorrect or measurement cannot be performed.
• If the skin gets irritated or redness appears on the skin from the
probe, change the attachment site or stop using the probe.  Take
extreme care for the patients with delicate skin.
• When the probe is attached on an appropriate site with sufficient
circulation and the error message confirming the probe
attachment repeatedly appears, the probe may be deteriorated.
Replace it with a new one.
• Do not use a probe that is deteriorated by aging.  Accurate
measurement cannot be performed.
• Neonatal skin is delicate.  Remove the probe and tape carefully
and slowly.
• When removing a probe that is taped to the skin, do not pull the
probe cable because this can damage the cable.
• When removing the probe from the attachment tape, do not pull the
