Event or Problem Description

It was reported that, during use, a vitawave cuff had inaccurate readings while connected to a vita monitor and pc1q cable in a ep pfa case.The vitawave plus cuff was placed on the patient's middle right finger.The non invasive blood pressure cuff (nibp) was reading systolic/diastolic in the 180/110 while the finger cuff was reading lower, particularly the diastolic producing a map that was 30 mmhg lower than the nipb.There were moderate vasoconstriction warnings.The cuff was then placed on the ring finger and restarted.The physical reached 60-70 however the sqi was 1 bar for some time.Towards the end of the case, the finger cuff eventually correlated better to the systolic but the diastolic was still lower with the map off by 10-15mmhg.Finger cuff was not placed on the same arm as the nibp.Nibp cuff was set to do readings every 5 then 3 due to discrepancy.Clinicians treated to the brachial arm cuff.It is unknown whether issue was caused by the finger cuff or pc1q cable.
