Inserting Bladder into Cuff
To insert the bladder into the cuff, roll bladder
into a tube starting from long edge opposite
tubing. Insert left edge of bladder into cuff
opening (at bottom edge of cuff) until it is
completely inside. Shake cuff until bladder
fully unravels. Thread tubes through smaller
openings (from inside of cuff out) and tuck flap in to
secure bladder. To make sure that bladder fills compartment, inflate by mouth.
Latex-free options are available on some items. To order latex-free
version, ADD “LF” suffix to model number (i.e., 700LF)
CAU T I O N -Unless otherwise indicated, these products contain natural
rubber latex, which may cause allergic reactions.

1. Patient Position
The patient should sit or lie comfortably. The arm should be supported
on a flat surface at heart level. (If the arm’s position varies, or is not
level with the heart, measurement values obtained will not be consistent
with patient’s true blood p ressure). Observer should view manometer (gauge)
in a direct line to avoid ‘‘parallax error’’.

Ca ut i on - Do not allow a blood pressu re 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 nerve s.
Warn i n g - If luer lock connectors are used in the construction of tubing, there is a possibility that
they might be inadvertently connected to intravascular fluid systems, allowing air to be pumped
into a blood vessel.
Ca u tio n - To obtain the greatest accuracy from your blood pres s ur e instrument, it is recomm end ed
that the instrument be used within a temperature range of 50°F (10°C) to 104°F (40°C), with a relati ve
humidity range of 15-90% (non-condensing).

Warn i ng - A warning statement in this manual identifies a condition or practice which, if not correct ed
or discontinued immediately could lead to patient injury, illness, or death.
Ca ut io n - Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician or licensed
he al th ca re practitioner.
Wa rn i n g - Safety and effectivness with neonate cuff sizes 1 through 5 is not established.
War n in g - For all blood pres sure systems that can be wall mounted, ensure that the unit is securely
mounted prior to use to avoid damage to the instrument and potential patient injury.

2. Apply the cuff
2.1 Place the cuff over the bare upper arm with the end containing the
bladder over the brachial artery.
2.2 The bottom edge of the cuff should be positioned approx im at el y one
inch above the antecubital fold.
2.3 Wrap the end of the cuff not containing the bladder around arm
snugly and smoothly and engage adhesive strips.
Note: If the unit is equipped with a
calibrated nylon cuff featuring Index
and Range markings, a correct fit may
be verified by checking that the Index
Line falls between the two Range Lines.
(See Figure 1)
3. Inflate the cuff
3.1 Close the deflation valve by turning the thumbscrew clockwise.
3.2 Palpate the radial art er y while inflating the cuff. Be sure to inflate cuff
quickly by squeezing bulb rapidly.
3.3 Inflate cuff 20 to 30mmHg above the point at which the radial pulse
dis a ppe a rs.
4. Position the Stethoscope
Position the chestpiece in the antecubital space between the cuff, distal
to the brachium. Do not place chestpiece underneath the cuff, as this
impedes accurate measurement. Use the bell side of a combination
stethoscope for clearest detection of the low pitched Korotkoff (pulse)
sounds.
5. Deflate the cuff
Open the valve to deflate the cuff gradually at a rate of 2-3mmHg per second.
6. Measurement
Rec o rd the onset of Koro t k o ff sounds as the systolic pres s u re, and the
disappearance of these sounds as diastolic pre s s u re. (Some healthcare
professionals recommend recording diastolic 1 and diastolic 2. Diastolic
1 occurs at phase 4). After measurem e nt is completed, open valve fully to
release any remaining air in the cuff. Remove cuff.
CLEANING AND M AI N TE NA N CE
Cuff and Nylon Case
Sponge with a damp cloth. 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.
Bladder and Bulb:
Wipe with a damp cloth. To help preserve it from cracking or discoloring,
wipe with a soft cloth moistened with ethanol.
Valves:
Clean the surface with a dry fabric such as soft
cotton material. Remove the interior gasket with a
thin blunt pick. Check for dirt, dust, hair, or other
debris in both chamber and air release slit, which
could impede proper function. (See Figure 2).
Leatherette Case:
Wipe with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly with a dry cloth. If
necessary, it can be washed with cool water and mild soap. Do not allow
to air dry.
Gauge:
Wipe with a dry cloth. NEVER DISASSEMBLE!
GAUGE CALIBRAT I ON
Should the indicator needle of the manometer rest outside of this
calibration mark, then the manometer must be recalibrated to within
+/-3 mmHg when compared to a
certified re f e rence standard. No
manometers that have their indicator
needle resting outside of this mark
are acceptable for use. (See Figure 3).
