BP10 Operator’s Manual 6 - 5
6.4.2 Taking a Measurement
1. Prepare and make sure the patient is in a correct position. Refer to Preparing the
Patient 6-4 for details.
2. Turn on BP10.
3. Verify that the patient category is correct.
4. If not, press the key, and then select Patient Info→ Patient Category and
set the patient size to Adult or Pediatric.Connect the extension air hose to the
NIBP connector on BP10.
5. Select the appropriate sized cuff by referring to the limb circumference marked on
the cuff.
The width of the cuff should be 40% of the limb circumference, or 2/3 of the upper
arm’s length. The inflatable part of the cuff should be long enough to encircle at
least 50% to 80% of the limb.
6. Apply the cuff to the patient’s upper arm at the same level as the heart, and make
sure the Φ marking on the cuff is aligned with the artery.
Do not wrap the cuff too tightly around the limb. It may cause discoloration, and
ischemia of the extremities.
Make sure that the edge of the cuff is within the marked range. If it is not, use a cuff
that fits properly.
7. Connect the cuff to the extension air hose.
Avoid compression or restriction of NIBP hose. Air must pass unrestricted through
the tubing.
