PHYSIO-PORT UP
A9951 Revision C

Place the cuff on that arm of the patient which is
used less frequently during normal daily activities:
on adults about 2 fingers' breadth above the bend of
the elbow. Bending the arm must not change the
cuff level.

It is recommended to place a hose made of mull
between arm and cuff.
Verify that

the cuff tubing points up toward the shoulder
(Fig. 4-1)

no compression or restriction of connection
tubing can occur

the side with the label is on the skin
(single-use cuffs)

the arrow is located above the brachial or femoral
artery

the dashed white line at the end of the cuff is
located between the two dashed lines
when you close the cuff (if this is not the case,
select another cuff size, see Fig. 4-2),

the cuff fits snugly around the arm but does not
compress the blood vessels

the cuff and the PHYSIO-PORT UP are used
inside the ambient conditions for operation and
inside the measuring range (s. chapter „Technical
Specifications“
Performing a Trial Measurement

Turn on PHYSIO-PORT UP and place it in the
wearable pouch. There is an aperture in the pouch to
accommodate 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 PHYSIO-PORT UP ( 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 readings (S in mmHg or kPa)

the diastolic readings (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 completed
successfully, the device is ready for automatic
measurements.
