- Durability: Built to withstand frequent use in clinical environments, reinforced seams and resilient tubing extend service life.
USAGE GUIDELINES
- Placement: For thigh readings, position the cuff on the upper thigh with the bladder centered over the femoral artery for large arms, wrap around the largest mid-arm circumference, ensuring snug contact.
- Secure Fit: Fasten the Velcro so the cuff is snug but not overly tight. One fingertip should fit under the cuff edge.
- Connecting Components: Attach the bladder tubing securely to the gauge and bulb before inflating to prevent leaks and ensure accurate readings.
- Inflation & Measurement: Inflate steadily using the bulb until 20-30 mmHg above the expected systolic pressure, then release slowly via the valve while auscultating Korotkoff sounds (if using a stethoscope) or observing gauge changes.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
- Routine Cleaning: Wipe the cuff exterior with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water, avoiding soaking the cuff or immersing the bladder and gauge in liquids.
- Disinfecting: Use hospital-approved disinfectant wipes on the cuff surface when required, ensuring disinfectants are compatible with nylon materials to avoid degradation.
- Drying: Allow the cuff to air dry completely before storing to prevent mildew or odor buildup. Do not expose to direct heat or sunlight while drying.
- Calibration & Maintenance: Have the aneroid gauge professionally calibrated at least once per year or sooner if readings appear inconsistent.
- Proper Storage: Coil tubing loosely to avoid kinks and store the kit in the supplied vinyl case to protect against dust and accidental impact.
