<strong>CASMED</strong> <strong>740</strong> <strong>Monitor</strong>s<br />
CAUTION:<br />
Before each use, make sure that the monitor default alarm settings are appropriate for the<br />
specific patient being monitored.<br />
Pressing the front panel keyswitch with a sharp or pointed instrument may permanently damage<br />
the keyswitch. Press the keyswitch using only your finger.<br />
Do not operate the monitor unless it has been properly calibrated. Inaccurate blood pressure<br />
readings may result. A calibration check is recommended once every year. A pneumatic check<br />
is recommended once every six (6) months.<br />
As with any non-invasive oscillometric blood pressure monitor, the accuracy of the<br />
measurements obtained may be adversely affected by the presence of agents that alter the<br />
patient’s cardiovascular system.<br />
Do not alter the monitor's air hose. CAS Medical Systems cannot ensure proper monitor<br />
performance if the tubing is altered. Modification of the air hose will void the warranty. Avoid<br />
compression or restriction of pressure tubes.<br />
A NIBP monitor does not operate effectively if a patient is having seizure activity, convulsions or<br />
tremors or is connected to a heart/lung machine.<br />
In shock conditions, the low amplitude of the blood pressure waveform may make it difficult for<br />
the monitor to accurately determine the systolic and diastolic pressures.<br />
When a patient is experiencing arrhythmias during a NIBP measurement, the accuracy of the<br />
pulse determination may be affected or the time needed to complete a measurement may be<br />
extended. The monitor will not make a determination beyond 120 seconds.<br />
If the cuff is applied on a limb being used for oxygen saturation monitoring %SpO 2 results will be<br />
altered during each blood pressure measurement due to the occlusion of blood flow.<br />
Inspect the monitor, air hose and sensors for any damage prior to operation. If any damage is<br />
noted, the monitor should not be used until it has been serviced. The monitor should be<br />
repaired only by personnel authorized to do so by CAS Medical Systems, Inc.<br />
Use only CAS Medical Systems approved accessories and sensors to preserve the integrity,<br />
accuracy and the electromagnetic compatibility of the monitor.<br />
Consult a physician for interpretation of blood pressure measurements.<br />
The oximeter is factory calibrated to determine the percentage of arterial oxygen saturation of<br />
functional hemoglobin.<br />
Significant levels of dysfunctional hemoglobins such as carboxyhemoglobin or methemoglobin<br />
may affect the accuracy of the measurement.<br />
Cardiogreen and other intravascular dyes, depending on the concentration, may affect the<br />
accuracy of the oximeter measurement.<br />
