WARNING The device is intended for use only in environments with clinician supervision.

WARNING The device is not intended for continuous monitoring. Do not leave the device unattended while taking measurements on a patient.

WARNING The device is not intended for use during patient transport.

WARNING Fire and explosion hazard. Do not operate the device in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen, or nitrous oxide; in oxygenenriched environments; or in any other potentially explosive environment.

WARNING Every three months, inspect the blood pressure cuff and other accessories for fraying or other damage. Replace as necessary.

WARNING Inaccurate measurement risk. Do not use the device on patients who are connected to heart/lung machines.

WARNING Electric shock hazard. Do not open the device or attempt repairs. There are no user-serviceable parts inside ProBP 3400 other than battery replacement. Only perform routine cleaning and maintenance procedures specifically described in this directions for use. Inspection and servicing of internal parts shall only be performed by qualified service personnel.

WARNING The device complies with applicable domestic and international standards for electromagnetic interference and should not present problems to other equipment or be affected by other devices. As a precaution, avoid using the device in close proximity to other equipment.

10 General warnings and cautions

Welch Allyn Connex® ProBP™ 3400 digital blood pressure device

WARNING Welch Allyn is not responsible for the integrity of any mounting installation. Welch Allyn recommends that customers contact their Biomedical Engineering Department or maintenance service to ensure professional installation for safety and reliability of any mounting accessory.

WARNING The device is not defibrillator proof.

WARNING The device may not function properly if dropped or damaged. Do not use the device if you notice any signs of damage. Qualified service personnel must check any device that is dropped or damaged for proper operation before putting the device back into use.

WARNING Defective batteries can damage the device. If the battery shows any signs of damage, leakage, or cracking, it must be replaced immediately, and only with a battery recommended for or supplied with the device.

WARNING Improper disposal of batteries may create an explosion or contamination hazard. Never dispose of batteries in refuse containers. Do not dispose of the battery in fire. Always recycle batteries according to local regulations.

WARNING Improper handling of the battery can lead to heat generation, smoke, bursting, or fire.

WARNING Do not remove the label from the battery.

WARNING Do not disassemble, modify, or solder the battery.

WARNING Do not directly connect or short circuit the positive (+) and negative (-) battery terminals.

WARNING To avoid short circuits, keep battery terminals away from metal objects.

WARNING Do not expose the battery to temperatures higher than 80 °C/176 °F.

WARNING If the accuracy of any measurement is in question, check the patient's vital sign(s) with an alternate method and then check to verify the device is functioning properly.

WARNING For proper patient electrical isolation and battery charging, use only the provided external power supply to charge the device.

WARNING Electric shock hazard. Use the USB connector only to connect to devices complying with IEC 60601-1 or other IEC standards as appropriate to the device. The user is responsible for verifying that the system complies with the requirements of the system standard IEC 60601-1-1 if additional devices are connected to the ProBP 3400.

WARNING Electric shock hazard. Before cleaning the device, disconnect the power cord from the power source and the device.

Caution Take care to prevent water or other fluid from entering any connectors on the device. Should this occur, dry the connectors with warm air. Check the accuracy of all operating functions.

Directions for use

General warnings and cautions 11

Caution The device is not heat-resistant. Do not autoclave.

Caution Use the device within stated operating temperature ranges. The device will not meet performance specifications if used outside these temperatures ranges.

Caution Always unplug the external power source from the outlet before moving the device to a new location.

12 General warnings and cautions

Welch Allyn Connex® ProBP™ 3400 digital blood pressure device

13

NIBP warnings and cautions

WARNING ProBP 3400 is not intended to measure blood pressure on neonatal patients. The AAMI SP10:2002 standard defines neonates as children 28 days or less of age if born at term (37 weeks gestation or more); otherwise up to 44 gestational weeks.

WARNING To ensure pediatric blood pressure accuracy and safety, the Small Child Reusable Cuff (REUSE-08) and the Small Child Disposable Cuff (SOFT-08) are the smallest cuffs approved for use with young children. The child's arm must fit within the range markings on the cuff.

WARNING Do not compress the blood pressure hose or cuff. This may cause system errors or patient safety risks to occur.

WARNING NIBP readings may be inaccurate for patients experiencing moderate to severe arrhythmia.

WARNING Inaccurate measurement risk. Do not use the device on patients who are experiencing convulsions or tremors.

WARNING Use only blood pressure cuffs and hoses listed as approved accessories to ensure safe and accurate NIBP measurements.

WARNING Patient injury risk. When several blood pressure measurements are taken on the same patient, regularly check the cuff site and extremity for possible ischemia, purpura, and/or neuropathy.

WARNING Do not allow a blood pressure cuff to remain on the patient more than 3 minutes when inflated above 15 mmHg. Excessive cuff tightness may cause venous congestion, peripheral nerve injury, discoloration of the limb, and patient distress.

WARNING Inaccurate measurement risk. Do not place the cuff where it can disturb proper circulation. Do not place the cuff on any area where circulation is compromised or on any extremity used for intravenous infusions.

WARNING The blood pressure cuff must be properly positioned to ensure blood pressure accuracy and patient safety. Wrapping the cuff too loosely (preventing proper inflation) may result in inaccurate NIBP readings.

WARNING Patient injury risk. Never install Luer Lock connectors on Welch Allyn blood pressure tubing. Using these connectors on blood pressure cuff tubing creates the risk of mistakenly connecting this tubing to a patient's intravenous line and introducing air into the patient's circulatory system.

14 NIBP warnings and cautions

Welch Allyn Connex® ProBP™ 3400 digital blood pressure device

WARNING NIBP measurements may be inaccurate in the presence of excessive motion artifact. Minimize extremity and cuff motion during blood pressure readings.

WARNING The position and physiologic condition of the subject can affect a blood pressure reading.

WARNING If the blood pressure cuff is not at heart level, note the difference in reading due to the hydrostatic effect. Add the value of .2 kPa (1.80 mmHg) to the displayed reading for every 2.5 cm (inch) above heart level. Subtract the value of .2 kPa (1.80 mmHg) from the displayed reading for every 2.5 cm (inch) below heart level.

WARNING Proper blood pressure cuff size and placement is essential to the accuracy of the blood pressure determination. See Blood pressure cuff selection for sizing information.
