accessories are not damaged. If an accessory is missing or there is damage, please contact your
local representative
.
Attaching the cuff
1. Selecting the cuff
o
Measure the circumference of the patient's arm and select the cuff size that is appropriate for the
circumference. Select the cuff that is suitable for the patient from the cuffs exist in appendix1.
2. Connecting the cuff
o
Connect the cuff tube to the NIBP connector on the unit and turn clockwise to lock
Note
•
The device can be used on either the right or left arm. Wrap the cuff on a bare arm or over thin
clothing. Thick clothing or a rolled up sleeve will cause inaccurate blood pressure
measurements.
Warning
•
NIBP measurement should be performed on the upper arm.
•
During NIBP, stop excessive body movement by the patient and minimize trembling.
•
Use the appropriate cuff size to ensure correct measurements. If too large a cuff is used, the
measured blood pressure value tends to be lower than the actual blood pressure. If too small
a cuff is used, the measured blood pressure value tends to be higher.
•
Before and during measurement, verify that none of the following apply to the patient:
o
An inappropriate cuff size is used.
o
The part where the cuff is wrapped is at a different height than the heart. (A
difference of 10 cm (4 inches) in height may cause a variation in the blood pressure
value of up to 7 or 8 mmHg.)
o
Body movement or conversing during measurement.
o
Cuff wrapped over thick clothing.
o
Pressure on the arm due to a rolled up sleeve.
•
In the case of a cuff for adults, the cuff should be wrapped to a tightness that allows two
fingers to be inserted in between the cuff and the arm.
•
Do not use the cuff if it is damaged or has holes.
•
Only company-approved CUFF can be used with this device. The use of any other cuff may
result in incorrect measurement.
•
To measure correctly, it is recommended that the patient relax and not talk during
measurement.
To measure correctly, it is recommended that the patient rest quietly for 5 minutes before
measurement. In the case of a cuff for adults, the cuff should be wrapped to a tightness that
allows two fingers to be inserted in between the cuff and the arm.
