More Information

• Operating Instructions:
  Make sure that the unit is properly assembled and a properly sized cuff has been selected
  - The patient should sit or lie in a comfortable position with any constrictive clothing removed from arm
  - Wrap the cuff around the patient;s arm with the artery arrow positioned over the brachial artery, the bottom edge of the cuff should be approximately 1" above the antecubital crease
  Note: Make sure that the proper cuff has been selected. See Selecting a Properly Sized Cuff section for details
  - Extend the patients arm and slightly bend elbow so that the cuff is at heart level
  - Properly seat the eartips of the stethoscope into the ear canals and place the bell side of the chestpiece over the antecubital area just below the cuff
  - Hold the inflation bulb and turn the air release valve to close
  - Slowly and steadily inflate the cuff to a level approximately 30mm Hg higher than the estimated systolic pressure
  - Upon reaching the proper inflation level, open the valve, and slowly and steadily release the air at a rate of 2 to 3mm Hg per second
  - As the pressure begins to fall, listen for the first sound, which is the systolic pressure
  - Allow the cuff to continue to deflate. Listen for the first absence of sound,
  which is the diastolic pressure
  - Rapidly turn the valve to release all remaining air. Remove the cuff and
  record the measurement
