Connecting Cuffs
The BpTRU is equipped with a coiled tube that can be
left permanently attached. The individual blood pressure
cuffs connect to this tube via a threaded fitting.
Connect the Coiled Tube
The coiled tube has a threaded fitting on
one end and no fitting on the other end. The
bare end (the end without the fitting)
connects to the BpTRU.
Push the bare end of the coiled tube onto
the barbed fitting on the front of the
BpTRU, near the BP Start button.
Ensure that the tube is fully and snugly attached to the
barbed fitting. Loose connections may result in faulty
inflation and deflation of the cuff and lead to inaccurate
readings.
Thread the other end of the coiled tube onto
the fitting on one of the cuffs. Refer to
“Obtaining Accurate BP Measurements” on
page 16 for instructions on selecting an
appropriate size of cuff.
