6-2 Attaching the Cuff/ECG Electrodes/SpO
2
Sensor
Consider "Safety Precautions" appearing in an earlier part of the instruction manual, when attaching the
Cuff/ECG electrodes/SpO
2
sensor.
Attaching the cuff
1. Hold the cuff with the hose pointing
toward the lower part of the arm.
2. Wrap the cuff around the upper arm,
about 3 5 cm above the elbow, with the
ARTERY mark on the artery, as shown in
the illustration.
3. Allow some slack between the cuff and
arm so that a finger or two can be
inserted.
4. When the cuff inner end is not within the
area labeled RANGE, the cuff size is not
appropriate. Replace the cuff.
Note
•
Constriction of the upper arm, caused by rolling up a shirt sleeve, may prevent accurate readings.
•
When the size of the supplied cuff does not fit the patient, refer to "8-1 Accessories/Options" to find the
proper sized cuff.
