Instructions for use

•  Appropriate cuff should be selected according to the age and arm/thigh circumference of the subject. Its width should be 2/3 of the length of the upper arm/thigh. The inflatable part should be long enough to permit wrapping approximately 80% of the limb. When cuff sizes overlap for a specified circumference, choose the larger size.
• Check the cuff before use, replace the cuff when aging, tearing or weak closure is apparent. Do not use a damaged cuff. Select the appropriate blood pressure measurement site. Inspect patient’s limb prior to application.
• When applying the cuff, unfold and wrap around the upper arm/thigh evenly to the appropriate tightness.
• The cuff should be tightened to a degree where insertion of one finger is allowed
• Locate the cuff in such a way that the artery mark  is at a location where the clearest pulsation of brachial artery is observed.
• Remember to empty any residual air in the cuff before the measurement is commenced.

Operating Environment

Ambient temperature range: -10℃~ 40℃; Relative humidity: 10%~85%; Atmospheric pressure: 50kPa ~106.0kPa The cuff should be stored and used within the specified temperature and humidity range, or it may cause damage to the cuff or inaccurate measurement results.

Cleaning and Disinfection

1. Prepare the enzymatic detergent or equivalent and distilled water, and 10% bleach solution in separate spray bottles.
2. Spray detergent liberally on cuff, tubing and hose. If dirt is dried on, allow the detergent to soak in to the cuff for one minute.
3. Wipe smooth surface with a soft cloth. Use a soft-bristle brush on visibly stained areas and irregular surfaces. Note: Take particular care when cleaning the bulb and control valve knob on a complete inflation system. Do not allow fluid to enter back valve or saturate control valve knob. Remove visible contaminants from the periphery and the underside of the control valve knob.
4. Rinse with copious amounts of distilled water.
5. To disinfect, spray 10% bleach solution on cuff until saturated and allow to soak for five minutes.
6. Wipe away excess solution and rinse again with distilled water. Allow cuff to air dry
