Replacing the Air Bladder
After cleaning, the bladder needs to be inserted back into the cuff sleeve so the pneumatic hose
portion of the bladder goes through the tube opening on the cuff. Please note that the pneumatic
hose connection should face upward when using the ABPM cuff on either the right of the left
arm.
CAUTION
1. Always close the Velcro strip before cleaning.
2. Do not use fabric softener or other washing aids (e.g. hygiene rinses, textile
deodorants). These agents can leave residues and damage the material.
3. The cuff sleeve is not suitable for drying in a dryer. Line dry is recommended.
4. Do not machine wash the bladder.
11.3 Disinfection
To avoid permanent damage to the equipment, it is recommended that disinfection is performed
only when it is considered as necessary according to your hospital' regulations.
Clean the equipment and reusable accessories before they are disinfected. The validated
disinfectants for disinfecting the monitor and cuff sleeve are:
Ethanol (75%)
Isopropanol (70%)
If Ethanol or Isopropanol is used for both cleaning and disinfecting, then a new cloth is required
to be used for the disinfection step.
CAUTION
1. Intolerances caused by the use of disinfectants. Some patients may display
intolerance (e.g. allergies) to disinfectants or their components. Never use
disinfectants which leave residues on the product or which are not suitable for contact
with the skin. Carefully wash the cuff to remove residues.
2. Do not use high-temperature, high-pressure vapor or ionizing radiation as disinfection
methods.
3. Do not use chloric disinfectant such as chloride, sodium hypochlorite etc.
4. To prevent corrosion of the device and its accessories, do not use disinfectants that
contain additional active ingredients not mentioned above, for example, didecyl
dimethyl ammonium bromide, which contains quaternary ammonium salts.
