Fitting a Patient with the Oscar 2 and ABPM Cuff
After you have successfully programmed the Oscar 2 using AccuWin Pro 4, you may begin fitting the patient
with the monitor and a blood pressure cuff. Cuffs may be used on either arm.
1.
Choose the proper cuff size
To determine the correct cuff size for your patient, wrap the cuff around the patient’s upper arm without
sliding the arm through the sleeve. Use the color- coded
RANGE
indicator on the inside of the cuff and the
bold
INDEX
marker to check that the arm circumference falls within the cuff range. If the arm is within range,
this cuff size is correct for your patient. If the marker is outside the
RANGE
indicator, select a new cuff size as
indicated by color.
CAUTION:
Using an incorrect cuff size could result in erroneous and misleading blood pressure measure

ments.
2.
Apply the ABPM cuff
To apply the ABPM cuff, simply slide the sleeve up the patient’s arm, ensuring the color size indicator is at the
top of the cuff. The cuff should be midway between the elbow and shoulder. Be sure the ARTERY indicator
is over the patient’s brachial artery, between the bicep and tricep muscles. Wrap the cuff snugly around the
patient’s upper arm. There should be space for approximately 1 finger underneath the bottom of the cuff.
