Brachial Blood Pressure Examinations
Brachial blood pressure examinations measure the blood pressure in the right, left or both brachia. The measurement count can be selected
from 1, 2, or 3 (default: 1), interval time can be selected from 1 to 5 minutes, and simultaneous measurement on both brachia, multiple
measurements, average calculation is possible.
Take care when applying equipment to the following patients.
• Patients with swelling or who bleed easily
• Patients with blood congestion that may cause a thrombus
• Patients with blood congestion that may cause peripheral circulation obstruction
• Patients who experience inflammation, suppurative disease, external wounds, etc. in the area where the
cuff is attached
Important Basic Precautions
• Do not attach the cuff in the following areas.
• Brachia with an artificial dialysis shunt
• Brachia receiving IV drips, blood transfusions, etc.
• Brachia to which a catheter, etc. is attached
• Arm on the side of a mastectomy
• Blood pressure is measured by applying pressure to the brachium. If the patient reports any pain or
physical abnormalities, press the [STOP] key immediately to abort the examination.
• Let the patient rest for 10 minutes before the examination.
• Frequent measurements will result in blood flow disorder. When repeating the measurement,
wait until the blood flow is fully recovered. (5 minutes interval is recommended.)
• Do not connect other medical devices to the limb which a cuff is attached.
• When the cuff is removed after the examination, check the condition of the limbs.
• During the examination, let the patient maintain a relaxed posture free from tension and instruct
him/her not to speak, apply pressure to or hit the cuffs or move the limbs. When the patient is in
a sitting posture, both legs should be on a floor and not cross-legged. Otherwise, correct
measurements may not be obtained, or the measurement may fail due to prolonged
measurement by the cuff re-inflation.
• Always observe the patient and device to ensure safe operation of the device, and if any
abnormality is found, take appropriate measures such as ceasing operation of the device in the
safest way for the patient.
• If cuff inflation does not stop, takes a long time to deflate or any other malfunction occurs, press
the [STOP] button immediately and remove the cuffs.
