This section explains how to attach the cuffs, sensors and to set the date and time.
Attaching the Cuffs
The cuffs can be attached to the brachium, ankle, or toe.
Attaching the Cuffs (Standard 2-Channel Examination)
• There are brachial and ankle cuffs. The edge colors of the cuffs indicate the measurement site as follows.:
Brachial: Orange Ankle: Blue
Attach to the correct site according to the edge color of the cuff.
The brachial and ankle cuffs can be used on either right or left side of the corresponding measurement
site.
• The cuff size is applicable if the INDEX (
▲
) mark is within the RANGE when attached to the patient. The
applicable circumference range is indicated on each cuff. The size range applies to the circumference
measured at the center part of the cuff.
The cuff size and applicable size range are listed below.
• Make sure that the air hose are not bent and that no object has been placed on them.
• Make sure that the cuffs and air hoses exhibit no cracks or other damage.
