Applying the Cuff to the Patient
1. Wrap on a bare arm or over thin clothing.
Wrap the cuff on a bare arm or over thin clothing. Thick clothing or a rolled up sleeve will cause
inaccurate blood pressure measurements.
The device can be used on either the right or left arm.
2. Align the artery mark "INDEX ARTERY" with the brachial artery.
Run the cuff tube out the peripheral side with no bends (the brachial artery is on the inner side of the
patient's upper arm).
Make sure that "
INDEX
ARTERY
" is within the "RANGE" and the lower edge of the cuff is
1/2 -1 inches from the inner side of the elbow joint.
If "
INDEX
ARTERY
" is outside the "RANGE", error in the blood pressure value will increase. In this
case, use a different cuff size.
As a guideline for the tightness of the cuff, It should be possible to insert about two fingers under the
cuff.
3. During measurement, keep the brachial artery on which the cuff is
wrapped at the same height as the right atrium of the heart.
