Diasys Integra Access - Manual - GB - Rev 2
Table: recommended cuff size for arm circumference
- Cuff shape
The Diasys Integra Access cuff is conical, and thus
perfectly adapted to the anatomy of the arm. However, to
avoid any risk of discomfort for the patient, positioning still
requires particular attention:
The two areas of velcro must be lined up and opposing.
The cuff must be wound evenly.
The cuff should be neither too loose (this could
increase the inflation time and result in a malfunction,
in which case the relevant error code would be
displayed) nor too tightly wound around the patient’s
arm (uncomfortable).
5.4.3. Changing arm
The cuff has been designed so that it can, if necessary, be
worn on the right arm.
This is done as follows:
- Disconnect the air tubing from the Diasys.
- Open the cuff cover and remove the bladder, passing the
tube under the stabilising flap.
- Turn the bladder over.
- Put the bladder back in the cuff making sure it is flat,
with the tube coming out opposite the stabilising flap.
Close the cuff.
