Chapter 3 Pre-Examination Preparations
Attaching the Cuff to the Ankle
1
Select the black-edged cuff for the right
ankle and the green-edged cuff for the
left ankle.
Place the cuff so that the bottom is 1cm above the ankle
and the label with the arrow is on the inside of the ankle.
Bending the knees of the patient will facilitate the cuff
application.
2
Wrap the cuff around the ankle securely but not too tightly. Make sure there is no gap
between the cuff and the ankle.
Using the Limb Cushion (Optional, 2-Channel/4-Channel
Examination)
Use a limb cushion when the pulse is weak, the rise of the pulse wave is unstable or if it is difficult to find the notch of the pulse wave.
Place the limb cushion below the elbow or heel to obtain a stable pulse wave.
The limb cushion can be used in horizontal or vertical direction. Use it in a suitable direction so that the cuff will not touch the
bed.
The limb cushion is an optional accessory.
• If the limb cushion is too high, or if it causes pain to the patient, use a towel instead of the limb
cushion. Fold the towel 2 or 3 times, place it under the heel, and adjust the height so that the cuff
does not touch the bed.
• If the cuff touches the bed even when using the longest side of the limb cushion, place a towel
folded 2 or 3 times under the limb cushion to adjust the height.
• If the patient’s limb is not placed stably on the limb cushion, the tension caused by the patient's effort
to keep the limb on the limb cushion may cause a faint shake. As this will affect the pulse wave
recording, make sure to place the limb at the center of the limb cushion.
