Important Safety Information
Important Safety Information
This symbol on the Omron M24/7 monitor is a warning that you
should read the accompanying documentation (this manual).
Warning:
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.
The ambulatory blood pressure monitor should not be used if
any of the following cases apply:
• patients without an indication for ambulatory blood pressure
monitoring
• non-cooperative patients
• patients in any way unable to operate a monitor as intended
• patients requiring urgent / emergency cardiac care
• unconscious or otherwise incapable patients
• patients with serious mobility impairments without supervision
• patients with coagulation disturbances
• children without supervision
• children under the age of 8 years
Though the blood pressure measurement algorithm used in the
OMRON M24/7 has been tested and found to function properly
on patients with atrial ¿ brillation or other common arrhythmias,
the oscillometric blood pressure measurement method is
generally recommended for use only with special caution in
patients with arrhythmias, Parkinson’s disease, or other diseases
with tremor.
Always consult a physician for the interpretation of the blood
pressure measurements. Note that any blood pressure recording
may be affected by the body position, the physiological condition
of the patient, and other factors.
Take care to avoid blocking the air À ow in the tube of the cuff
and twisting the tube. Make sure the cuff and its tubing do not
cause strangulation or a circulation problem. Should the patient
experience arm numbness or pain remaining after any blood
pressure reading is completed, the cuff should be removed to
avoid permanent vascular or neural injury.
