6.7 Attaching the cuff and the recorder
The PhysioQuant Recorder must not
be connected to a PC, while it is being
attached to the patient.
Please remove the connecting cable to the PC.
Attach the cuff to the arm that is less used by the patients. For adults:
approx. 2 finger widths above the elbow. For children: slightly closer to
the elbow. Ensure that the cuff does not rise up when the arm is being
bent.
Please ensure that:
• the connecting tube points upwards to the shoulder
•
the side of the cuff with 'Patient' written on it makes contact with
the skin
• the arrow lies over both the arteria brachialis and arteria femoralis
• the cuff is attached tightly and closely surrounds the tissue, but
exerts no pressure on the veins
CAUTION!
