4. Ensure the marking indicated on the cuff with the symbol "Φ" is placed over the
brachial artery.
The cuff should not be wrapped too tightly around the limb. Excessive tightness may cause
discoloration and eventual ischemia of the extremities. The tube coming from the cuff should be
immediately to the left or right of the brachial artery to prevent kinking when the elbow is bent.
5. Before starting the test, check that the cuff is 2 to 5 cm (1 to 2 inches) above the
elbow and that the limb chosen for taking the measurement is placed at the same
level as the patient's heart.
If this is not possible you should apply the following corrections to the measured values:
If the cuff is placed higher than the heart level, add 0.75 mmHg (0.10 kPa) for each inch of
difference.
If it is placed lower than the heart level, deduct 0.75 mmHg (0.10 kPa) for each inch of
difference.
Check whether the measure mode is appropriately selected. (the measurement mode is displayed
in the primary screen display information area).
Note – Readings are usually taken from the arms, however, when this is not possible you can also
take readings from the Thigh. All the same instructions apply, you will need to find the artery and
align the cuff’s measurement point with that artery; and then, you will need to ensure that the
cuff is not too tight.
Before starting a measurement, verify that you have selected the setting
appropriate for your patient (adult, paediatric or neonatal).
6. Press button on the front panel to start a measurement. Press this button again to
stop a measurement prematurely.
Auto Measuring
The V460(S) also has an ambulatory auto measuring function, to use this you will need to do the
following: Once all previous parameters have been considered. Access ABPM SETUP menu and pick
the "ASLEEP INTERVAL“ item and "AWAKE INTERVAL" item, in which you, the user, may select the
time interval value for auto measurement. After this; enter the "ABPM" menu and select the
entrance, enter into the ABPM working environment and the system will start its automatic cycle
taking measurements by autonomously inflating in accordance with the time interval settings.
During the idle period of the auto measuring process, you can press the button at any time
to start a manual measurement. Then press button again to stop manual measurement and
the system should continue executing the auto-measuring program.
How to stop auto measuring:
During auto measuring you can stop a reading in progress by pressing the button at any time.
If you are in doubt about the accuracy of any reading(s), check the patient's vital
signs by an alternative method before checking the functionality of the blood
pressure monitor .
