3. Activate the digital aneroid and inflate the cuff:

Press the “       ” On/Off 

button to activate your digital gauge. After zeroing, your digital gauge is ready to 

measure. Close the ADFLOW

TM

valve by turning thumbscrew clockwise.

Palpate the radial artery while inflating the cuff. Be sure to inflate cuff quickly 

by squeezing bulb rapidly. Inflate cuff 20-30 mmHg above the point at which the 

radial pulse disappears.

4. Position the Stethoscope:

Position the chestpiece in the antecubital space 

below the cuff, distal to the brachium. Do not place chestpiece underneath the 

cuff, as this impedes accurate measurement. Use the bell side of a combination 

stethoscope for clearest detection of the low pitched Korotkoff (pulse) sounds.

5. Systolic Assist Function and Pulse:

Your digital e-sphyg

TM

gauge is equipped 

with a systolic assist function to help you more easily determine the onset of 

systolic blood pressure. As you deflate the cuff, a heart symbol will flash when 

the pressure is within about 20 mmHg of systolic pressure. Once you 

see the flashing symbol, pay close attention for the start of phase 1 Korotkoff 

sounds. The digital gauge will also measure the patient’s pulse while you are 

measuring blood pressure, and display this information on the LCD screen 

once the cuff has been deflated.

6. Deflate the cuff:

Open the valve to deflate the cuff gradually at a rate of 

2-5 mmHg per second (2-3 is preferred). The display will show the average 

deflation rate in the lower right corner of the LCD screen.

7. Measurement:

Record the onset of Korotkoff sounds as the systolic pressure, 

and the disappearance of these sounds as diastolic pressure. (Some healthcare

professionals recommend recording diastolic 1 and diastolic 2. Diastolic 1 

occurs at phase 4).

After measurement is completed, open valve fully to release any remaining air 

in the cuff. The digital gauge will now display the patient’s pulse. Remove cuff.

BACKLIGHT CONTROL

The default setting on your digital gauge is to have the back light on once the 

pressure is inflated over 30 mmHg, and throughout the measurement process. 

To switch the backlight off at any time, press the “      ” button on the left side. 

You will need to deactivate the backlight each time you power on the instrument.  

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Storage:

After measurement, wrap cuff around gauge and bulb and store in zippered

carrying case.

Cleaning: Digital Manometer

: Your ADC

®

DIAGNOSTIX

TM

brand e-sphyg

TM

gauge

requires minimal care and maintenance.

The manometer may be cleaned with a slightly dampened soft cloth, but should not

be dismantled under any circumstances. 

Cuff:

Sponge with a damp cloth or alcohol pad.  If necessary, it can be washed in

cool water with mild soap or detergent-disinfectant. Remember to remove bladder

from cuff prior to washing. After washing, it should be rinsed and allowed to air dry.

NEVER IRON.

Be sure to remove the bladder and all components before cleaning

the cuff.

Bladder and Bulb:

Remove bladder from cuff and disconnect bulb from tubing and

valves. Wipe with a damp cloth. To help preserve it from cracking or discoloring,

wipe with a soft cloth moistened with ethanol.

Valves:

Clean the surface with a dry fabric such as soft cotton material. Remove

dust from filter screen.

Carry Case:

Wipe with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly with a dry cloth. If

necessary, it can be washed with cool water and mild soap. Do not allow to air dry.

Batteries:

If the e-sphyg

TM

will not be used for an extended period of time, remove

batteries.

DISINFECTION AND STERILIZATION

Disinfecting:

Glutaraldehyde-type liquid disinfectant may only be used on the cuff.

Follow instructions for use provided with the glutaraldehyde product. Prolonged use

of this disinfectant may cause discoloration. DO NOT use glutaraldehyde-type liquid

disinfectant on the digital gauge, bulb, valves, or bladder.

Sterilizing:

The blood pressure cuff may be gas sterilized. 

DO NOT

use steam or

heat to sterilize the cuff, bulb, valve, or bladder. 

DO NOT

attempt to sterilize the

digital gauge.
