User Maintenance Care and Cleaning of Reusable Cuffs
17.5.2 Reusable Bladderless Cuffs
Clean cuffs with warm water and a mild detergent. Do not use a detergent containing hand
conditioners, softeners, or fragrances.
NIBP cuffs can be sterilized with gamma sterilization without affecting the repeated
performance of the cuff. Steam sterilization is not recommended. Use of a washing liquid
containing bleach is not recommended because chlorine will chemically break down the
urethane on the inside of the cuff.
Antimicrobial Definition
Bladderless cuffs are treated with an antimicrobial coating. Antimicrobial technology
effectively controls a broad spectrum of bacteria, fungi, algae and yeasts on a wide variety
of treated substrates.
