CASMED 740 Vital Signs Monitor - Implox

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