Ensure the patient is instructed in the removal of the cuff in the event
that it fails to deflate within two and a half minutes
The inflation of the cuff during an oscillometric blood pressure
measurement may increase the risk of bruising in susceptible
patients, such as those taking anti-coagulant medication. The use
of the OnTrak monitor on these patients should be subject to clinical
discretion.
1.2.1 Important Notes for the Doctor
• A measurement can be stopped at any time by pressing the 'ACTION'
key. This will deflate the cuff and the unit will continue at the next
scheduled measurement time.
• Instruct your patients that in the event of a measurement causing
discomfort how to switch the unit off (see section 1.5.1.2) and in the
removal and replacement of the cuff. Also if discomfort persists they
should fully remove the cuff and inform the doctor.
• Ensure that patients are aware that the air hose must not be knotted,
twisted or compressed.
• Ensure patients are made aware that the cuff must only be worn on the
upperarm only and precautions taken to ensure that neither the air hose
or shoulder strap can ever become wrapped around the neck and that
the air hose is worn under outer clothing especially at night.
• Ensure that patients are made aware that the unit should be positioned
in such a manner that ensure the air hose cannot be compressed or
twisted, especially when sleeping.
• In the case of non fully competent patients, the unit is only to be worn
under supervision.
• It is the doctors responsibility to ensure that, according to the health of
the patient, the use of the monitor will not impede or damage the blood
circulation to the arm.
Due to the risk of strangulation by the air hose, the OnTrak 90227
Monitor must only be used in children with special care and under
the permanent supervision after specific prescription by the doctor.
