Examination Procedure
(1) Place the patient in supine position with the leg and hip rotated outward. Use pillows
to support the leg and hip. It is important that the patient is comfortable and relaxed.
(2) Wrap a wide occluding cuff at mid-thigh and a sensing cuff at mid-calf.
(3) Connect a 3-way stopcock to the inlet of PV interface box. Interconnect the stopcock,
tubing, cuff and sphygmomanometer as shown below.
(4) Turn the stopcock so that air is routed from the sphygmomanometer to the
sensing cuff at mid-calf.
(5) If you wish to input patient data, see “3-2-3-j.
PATIENT”.
(6) Inflate the sensing cuff to 40 mmHg. Wait 10
seconds to allow time for settling and deflate the
cuff to 15 mmHg.
(7) Turn the stopcock so that it blocks sphyg and routes cuff pressure to the PV interface
box.
(8) Disconnect the sphyg from the stopcock and attach it to the occluding cuff at the
thigh.
(9) Press Right to begin the measurement process.
