REPLACING THE CUFF MEMBRANE.
Cuff membranes should be checked regularly. Over time, the membranes lose their
elasticity and pores appear, leading to pressure losses in the system. When such wear
has occurred, they should be replaced. Naturally, the service life of the membranes will
depend on how well serviced they are and the number of operations carried out.
Generally, they should be changed when the first signs of loss of flexibility or drying
are observed. The membrane must be an original PANLAB component. The use of parts
made by other manufacturers is not recommended, as there is a major difference in the
elasticity of the rubber between different makes, causing unpredictable cuff response.
Proceed as follows to replace cuffs (in this example, for rats):
1.
Remove the two cylinder-shaped rings from the cuff ends, as shown in the
following figures:
