be performed on a site with poor peripheral circulation.
• Check the circulation condition by observing the skin color of the measuring
site and the 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.
