Maintenance:

Clean and disinfect as required

Cleaning

• Use one or more of the following methods and allow to air dry:

• Wipe with mild detergent and water solution (1:9 solution). Rinse.

• Wipe with Enzol per manufacturer’s instructions. Rinse.

• Wipe with .5% bleach and water solution. Rinse.

• Wipe with 70% isopropyl alcohol.

• Launder with mild detergent in warm water, normal wash cycle.

Remove bladder first. Cuff is compatible with 5 wash cycles.

Low Level Disinfection

Prepare Enzol enzymatic detergent according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Spray detergent solution liberally onto cuff and use a sterile brush to agitate the

detergent solution over entire cuff surface for five minutes. Rinse continuously

with distilled water for five minutes. To disinfect, first follow the cleaning steps

above, then spray cuff with 10% bleach solution until saturated, agitate with a

sterile brush over entire cuff surface for five minutes. Rinse continuously with

distilled water for five minutes. Wipe off excess water with sterile cloth and allow

cuff to air dry.

WARNING: Do not allow a blood pressure cuff to remain on patient for more

than 10 minutes when inflated above 10 mmHg. This may cause patient

distress, disturb blood circulation, and contribute to the injury of

peripheral nerves.

WARNING: Do not apply cuff to delicate or damaged skin. Check cuff site

frequently for irritation.

WARNING: Safety and effectiveness with neonate cuff sizes 1 through 5 is

not established.

WARNING: Only use the cuff when the range markings indicated on the cuff

show that the proper cuff size is selected, otherwise erroneous readings

may result.

WARNING: Allow space between patient and cuff. Two fingers should fit in

this space if the cuff is correctly positioned.

WARNING: Do not apply cuff to limbs used for IV infusion.

WARNING: Patient should remain still during measurement to avoid

erroneous readings.

CAUTION: Do not iron cuff.

CAUTION: Do not heat or steam sterilize cuff.

Bulb and Valve Assembly - Model 872N

Intended Use

ADC

®

blood pressure bulb and valves allow for

controlled inflation and deflation of the blood pressure

cuff. They are intended for use with manual

noninvasive blood pressure measurement devices.

To Operate:

Close the valve by fully rotating thumbscrew clockwise. To open, rotate

counterclockwise. Deflation should be maintained at a consistent rate of

2-3mmHg/second throughout measurement for best results (in accordance

with recommendations set forth by the AHA).

Maintenance:

Your bulb and valve assembly is equipped with an end valve that allows the intake

of air into your blood pressure device. It is recommended that the end valve be

checked for debris and cleared on a regular basis to ensure that dust and other

debris does not reduce airflow. NOTE: Some end valves are equipped with a filter

screen to help prevent the ingress of dust from the environment.

Manometer Quality Control

A Serial number and Lot number are automatically

assigned to every aneroid during manufacturing,

ensuring every item is "controlled".

This Serial Number can be located on the

faceplate of each aneroid (Figure 6).

The Lot number is located on the outside

label of all accessory packaging

(Figure 7).

Disposal

When your sphygmomanometer or any of its parts have reached its end of life,

please be sure to dispose of it in accordance with all regional and national

environmental regulations. Devices that have become contaminated should be

disposed of in accordance with all local ordinances and regulations.
