2001589-312 Revision B TONOPORT VI 21
Single-Use Cuffs
Single-use cuffs are connected to the TONOPORT VI
device by inserting the TONOPORT BP Single-Use Cuff
Adapter between the device and the tube of the single-use
cuff.

Performing a Trial Measurement
 Turn on TONOPORT VI and place it in the wearable
pouch. There is an aperture in the pouch to accommo-
date the cuff connection tube.
 Attach the pouch to the patient (shoulder strap, belt).
For reasons of hygiene, it is not advised to carry the
pouch on the bare skin.
 Guide the pressure tubing around the patient's neck as
a strain relief and connect it to the blood pressure cuff
port of TONOPORT VI (
2 , Fig. 2-1). Do not wrap the
pressure tubing completely around the neck to avoid
strangulation of the patient. You must hear the
connector click into place. Ensure that the tube is not
kinked or blocked during the measurement.
 Check that the display indicates the time of day. (If
the memory contains data from a previous procedure,
the letter "M" will appear on the display when you
turn on the device. If you still try to initiate a
measurement, the message "LLLL" prompts you to
clear the memory. Push twice to delete the data.
If you want to retain the data, turn off the device
instead of pushing .)
 To avoid erroneous measurements, ensure that the
patient does not move during the trial
measurement. The patient may stand or sit.
 Push to initiate the first measurement.
Within a few seconds, the device starts inflating the cuff.
When the inflation pressure has been reached, the cuff
will gradually be deflated (deflation measurement
method) or the pressure will be released quickly
(inflation measurement method). The changing cuff
pressure is indicated on the display and the letter "M"
appears with each detected oscillation. At the end of the
measurement, the measured data will be displayed
– the systolic reading (S in mmHg or kPa)
– the diastolic reading (D in mmHg or kPa), and
– the pulse rate (HR/min
-1
).
If an error code, such as "E 29" (insufficient number of
oscillations detected) is displayed after the measurement,
tighten the cuff a little and push again (see also
chapter "Error Codes").
If the trial measurement has been successfully completed,
the device is ready for automatic measurements.
