Storage: After measurement, wrap cuff around gauge and bulb and store in zippered carrying case.
Cleaning: Digital Manometer: Your ADC ® DIAGNOSTIX TM brand e-sphyg TM gauge requires minimal
care and maintenance.
The manometer may be cleaned with a slightly dampened soft cloth, but should not be dismantled
under any circumstances.
Cuff: Sponge with a damp cloth or alcohol pad. If necessary, it can be washed in cool water with
mild soap or detergent-disinfectant. Remember to remove bladder from cuff prior to washing. After
washing, it should be rinsed and allowed to air dry. NEVER IRON. Be sure to remove the bladder
and all components before cleaning the cuff.
Bladder and Bulb: Remove bladder from cuff and disconnect bulb from tubing and valves. Wipe

with ethanol.
Valves: Clean the surface with a dry fabric such as soft cotton material. Remove dust from filter
screen.

tions for use provided with the glutaraldehyde product. Prolonged use of this disinfectant may
cause discoloration. DO NOT use glutaraldehyde-type liquid disinfectant on the digital gauge, bulb,
valves, or bladder.
