- 20 -
Note:
1. You can use a barcode reader to enter the patient information if barcode scanning is
activated. The recommended readers are Motorola LS4208 for one dimension and
Honeywell Xenon 1500GSR for two dimensions.
2. You can also retrieve patient information via GDT in the Program screen. Select
Setting > GDT > Enable GDT.
3. Patient information with an asterisk * is mandatory, for example, patient name and ID.
Patient name allows for up to 60 English letters for entry. Patient ID allows for up to 30
letters or numbers for entry if generated manually or automatically, and 10 numbers if
accumulated from zero.
5.2 Fitting Patient with the Monitor and Cuff
After you have successfully programmed the monitor, .you may begin fitting the patient with the
BP monitor and a blood pressure cuff. Cuffs may be used on either arm.
1. Choose the proper cuff size. This is very important for BP measurements.
CAUTION
Using an incorrect cuff size could result in erroneous and misleading blood pressure
measurements.
2. Apply the ABPM cuff. Simply slide the sleeve up the patient’s arm. Align the cuff so that the
lower edge of the cuff is approximately 2 cm above the inside of the patient’s elbow. Tighten
the cuff around the upper arm until one finger can be introduced under the cuff. It is
imperative that the artery symbol is positioned on the brachial artery. If you have aligned
the cuff correctly, the metal bar will lie on the outside of the upper arm (on the elbow side),
whereby the cuff sleeve must cover the skin under the metal bar.
