Take out the bladder before cleaning and disinfecting the cuff.
Cleaning
The cuff can be hand washed or machine washed in warm water or with mild detergent. The
bladder can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Air dry the cuff thoroughly after washing.

also be disinfected with ultraviolet. The bladder can only be disinfected with ultraviolet.
NOTE: Prolonged use of disinfectant may cause discoloration of the
cuff.
