CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIA`S
Measurements will be unreliable or impossible to take if the patient’s cardiac arrhythmia
has caused an irregular heartbeat. It will also take longer to take the measurement.
HEART-LUNG MACHINE
It will not be possible to take measurements, if the patient is connected to a heart-lung
machine.
PRESSURE CHANGES
Measurements will be unreliable or impossible to take if the patient’s blood pressure is
changing rapidly while the measurement is being taken.
SEVERE SHOCK
If the patient is in severe shock or hypothermia, measurements will be unreliable since
reduced blood flow to the peripheries will cause reduced pulsation of the arteries.
HEART RATE EXTREMES
Measurements cannot be made if the patient’s heart rate is less than 40 bpm or greater
than 240 bpm.

MAINTAINENCE AND CLEANING
REUSABLE BLOOD PRESSURE CUFF
The cuff can be sterilized with conventional autoclaving, gas or radiation sterilization in
hot air ovens, or by being submerged in decontamination solutions. If you use this last
method, remember to remove the rubber bag. The cuff should not be dry-cleaned. The
cuff can be machine-washed or hand-washed; hand washing may prolong the service life
of the cuff. Before washing, remove the latex rubber bag, and for machine-washing, close
the Velcro fastening. Allow the cuff to dry thoroughly after washing, and then reinsert the
rubber bag.
To replace the rubber bag in the cuff, first place the bag on top of the cuff so that the
rubber tubes line up with the large opening on the long side of the cuff. Now roll the bag
lengthwise and insert it into the opening on the long side of the cuff. Hold the tubes and
the cuff and shake the complete cuff until the bag is in position. Thread the rubber tubes
from inside the cuff out through the small hole under the internal flap.
[NOTE]
DO NOT squeeze the rubber tube on the cuff.
