measurement period. And press the “Start/Stop/Stat”
button to start the cycle time measurements.
Cuff Size Selection
Wrap Cuff Correctly
◎Infant blood pressure cuff (10-19cm)
◎Small adult blood pressure cuff (18-26cm)
※Adult blood pressure cuff (25-35cm)
◎Adult extra long blood pressure cuff (25-35cm)
◎Large adult blood pressure cuff (33-47cm)
The end of the cuff (marked by an index line) should fall
inside the range marked clearly on the inside of the cuff.
If not, use a different size cuff. If the cuff is in the upper
limit of the cuff range, the next larger size cuff can be
used to ensure accurate measurements.
VTRUST 701DH Provides 5 sizes of cuffs. In order to get
the correct blood pressure reading, It is very importand to
select the appropriate cuff.(※Standard Accessory).
Cuff Size
For measurement accuracy, the patient should
keep the cuffed part of the arm at the same level as the
heart. NIBP measurement points above the level of the
heart gives reduced pressure values. Measurement points
below the heart level gives increased values. These errors
are due to the weight of the blood.
The cuff shown below on the left is too small for the arm,
therefore,full cuff pressure is never applied to the artery.
This causes an erroneously high blood pressure reading.
The cuff shown on the right is of adequate width for the
arm, and full cuff pressure is applied to the brachial artery.
Cuffs for thighs are available for large patients or those
where neither arm is available for cuff placement. Blood
pressure measured at the thigh is typically 20-30 mmHg
higher (when the patient is standing, not prone) than blood
pressure measured at the upper arm.
