Fig 13-8 Change the tape inside cuff
To put the rubber bag back into the cuff, users should put the rubber bag near the cuff opening side,
making the rubber pipe aligned with the long opening of the cuff, then vertically roll the rubber
bag and insert it into the long opening, hold on the rubber pipe and cuff, and then shake the whole
cuff until the rubber gag is positioned exactly. Insert the rubber pipe into the cuff, letting it go
through the hole liner and extend out.

users can use soap to clean one-time cuffs for infection control purpose.
