Directions for use  33

Disconnect the blood pressure air tube 

1.

If you choose to disconnect the air 
tube after completing a blood 
pressure measurement, place your 
thumb and forefinger on the 
grooved portion of the metal air 
tube connector and pull it back. Do 
not twist the connector.

2.

Gently pull the air tube away from 
the monitor. You can now store the 
monitor and the cuff.

NoteYou may leave the air tube 

connected to the blood pressure 
monitor if you take your blood 
pressure regularly and have a 
convenient place to store the 
blood pressure monitor and cuff 
together without kinking the tube.
