Using the Monitor

Procedures

1. Connect the end of the air hose which has quick-release

clips to the cuff connector (30) on the front of the

Monitor. Make sure that the hose is not kinked or

compressed.

Note: To disconnect the hose from the Monitor, squeeze

the quick-release clips together and pull the plug from the

cuff connector (30).

2. Select the appropriate blood pressure measurement site.

Because normative values are generally based on this site

and as a matter of convenience, the upper arm is

preferred. When upper arm size or shape, the patient’s

clinical condition, or other factors prohibit use of the

upper arm, the clinician must plan patient care

accordingly, taking into account the patient’s

cardiovascular status and the effect of an alternative site

on blood pressure values, proper cuff size, and comfort.

The figure shows the recommended sites for placing cuffs.

Warning: Do not place the cuff on a limb being used for

intravenous infusion or any area where circulation is

compromised or has the potential to be compromised.

3. If patient is standing, sitting, or inclined, ensure that cuffed

limb is supported to maintain cuff at level of patient’s

heart. If cuff is not at heart level, the difference in systolic

and diastolic values due to hydrostatic effect must be

considered. Add 1.80 mmHg to values for every inch

(2.54 cm) above heart level. Subtract 1.80 mmHg from

values for every inch (2.54 cm) below heart level.

4. Select appropriate cuff size. Measure patient’s limb and

select appropriately sized cuff according to size marked

on cuff or cuff packaging. When cuff sizes overlap for a

specified circumference, choose the larger size cuff.

Precaution: Accuracy depends on use of proper size cuff.
