AMERICAN DIAGNOSTIC CORPORATION
Maintenance
Your sphygmomanometer is equipped with a bulb-and-valve assembly consisting
of 3 parts: an end (check) valve, a squeeze bulb, and an air control valve. On
select models, the end and air valves feature a built-in filter screen to minimize
dust contamination. We recommend that end and air valves be checked periodi-
cally for dust buildup. If the end valve appears clear but you feel increased resist-
ance when squeezing the bulb, check for dust buildup on the air valve filter. (The
bulb is friction fit to the air valve and can be easily removed, allowing access to
this filter screen.) Dust and debris can be cleared with tweezers. Replacement
filters, gaskets and valve parts will always be provided free if charge, if needed.
Warranty
American Diagnostic Corporation’s warranty service extends to the original retail
purchaser only and commences from the date of delivery. ADC warrants its prod-
ucts against defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and service
as follows:
• Your manometer is warranted for 10 years, 20 years, or life depending
upon the model. Refer to label or end panel for specific warranty denotation.
The manometer is warranted to remain accurate to +/-3mmHg (or the
prevailing standard) over its full range when compared to a reference
standard for the duration of its warranty.
• Adcuff inflation system components (cuff, bladder, tubing, bulb, valves,
and connectors) are warranted for three years. Specialty cuffs and bladders
are warranted for two years.
What Is Covered:
Replacement of parts, and labor.
What Is Not Covered:
Transportation charges to ADC. Damages caused by
abuse, misuse, accident, or negligence. Incidental, special, or consequential
damages. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental,
special, or consequential damages, so this limitation may not apply to you.
To Obtain Warranty Service:
Send item(s) postage paid to ADC, Attn: Repair
Dept., 55 Commerce Dr., Hauppauge, NY 11788. Please include your name and
address, phone no., proof of purchase, and a brief note explaining the problem.
Implied Warranty:
Any implied warranty shall be limited in duration to the
terms of this warranty and in no case beyond the original selling price (except
where prohibited by law). This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you
may have other rights which vary from state to state.

General Warnings:
A warning statement in this manual identifies a condition or practice which, if not
corrected or discontinued immediately, could lead to patient injury, illness, or death.
WARNING:
If this equipment is modified, appropriate inspection and testing must
be conducted to ensure its continued safe use.
WARNING:
Do not allow a blood pressure cuff to remain on patient for more
than 10 minutes when inflated above 10 mmHg. This may cause patient distress,
disturb blood circulation, and contribute to the injury of peripheral nerves.
WARNING:
Do not apply cuff to delicate or damaged skin. Check cuff site
frequently for irritation.
WARNING:
Safety and effectiveness with neonate cuff sizes 1 through 5 is
not established.
WARNING:
Only use the cuff when the range markings indicated on the cuff
show that the proper cuff size is selected, otherwise erroneous readings may result.
WARNING:
Allow space between patient and cuff. Two fingers should fit in this
space if the cuff is correctly positioned.
WARNING:
Do not apply cuff to limbs used for IV infusion.
WARNING:
Patient should remain still during measurement to avoid erroneous
readings.
WARNING:
If luer lock connectors are used in the construction of tubing, there is
a possibility that they might be inadvertently connected to intra-vascular fluid
systems, allowing air to be pumped into a blood vessel. Immediately consult
a physician if this occurs.
CAUTION:
To obtain the greatest accuracy from your blood pressure instrument,
it is recommended that the instrument be used within a temperature range of 50°F
to 104°F (10°C to 40°C), with a relative humidity range of 15%-85% (non-condensing).
CAUTION:
Manometer pressure range is 0 mmHg to 300 mmHg.
CAUTION:
Extreme altitudes may affect blood pressure readings. Your device has
been designed for normal environmental conditions.
CAUTION:
This product will maintain the safety and performance characteristics
specified at temperatures ranging from -4°F to 158°F (-20°C to 70°C) 15% to 85%
relative humidity.
CAUTION:
Do not iron cuff.
CAUTION:
Do not heat or steam sterilize cuff.
