adh siv strips (Figur 1).
To v rify a corr ct fit, ch ck
that th Ind x Lin falls b tw n th two Rang Lin s (Figur 2).
3. Inflate the cuff
Clos th ADFLOWTM valv by turning thumbscr w clockwis .
Palpat th radial art ry whil inflating th cuff. B sur to inflat cuff quickly by
squ zing bulb rapidly.
Inflat cuff 20-30 mmHg abov th point at which th radial puls disapp ars.
NOTE: Cuff pr ssur rang is 0 mmHg to 300 mmHg.
4. P siti n the Steth sc pe
Position th ch stpi c in th ant cubital spac b low th cuff, distal to th brachium.
Do not plac ch stpi c und rn ath th cuff, as this imp d s accurat m asur m nt.
Us th b ll sid of a combination st thoscop for cl ar st d t ction of th low
