the necessary hair cut
z Check the cuff edges are between the “<->” marks; otherwise users should change with
a more proper cuff.
z Connect the cuff with a pumping pipe. Make sure the body part used for pressure
measurement is at the same horizontal level with patient heart, and if failing to realize
this, users should apply the following correction method to correct the measurement
results
• In case horizontal level of cuff is higher than that of heart, add 0.75mmHg
(0.10kPa) onto the displayed value for each cm difference.
• In case horizontal level of cuff is lower than that of heart, deduct 0.75mmHg
(0.10kPa) onto the displayed value for each cm difference.
Caution
Cuff width should be 40% of arm perimeter (50% in case of newborns) or 2/3 of upper
arm length. Width of the pumping part of a cuff should be as long as to surround
50%~80% of the arm. Cuffs in improper size will generate wrong readings. In case of
size problem with a cuff, users should change it with a bigger one so as to reduce
mistakes.
