2. Roll the bladder lengthwise and insert it into the large opening. See the figures below.

flap.
CAUTION: Do not dry clean the cuff.
Do not press the cuff with a hot iron.
Do not use detergent and disinfectant other than 70%
ethanol or 70% isopropanol.

5.7.2 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 effecting 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.
5.7.3 Disposable Blood Pressure Cuffs
Disposable cuffs are intended for single patient use only. Once a cuff is used on a patient it
should be discarded. Do not use the same cuff on any other patient. Do not sterilize or use an
autoclave on disposable cuffs.
CAUTION: Disposable cuffs can be cleaned using a mild soap solution
and dried with a clean cloth.
5.8 Care and Cleaning of Gas Module
1. The Gas Module enclosure may be cleaned with a mild soap and water solution or
ammoniated window cleaner. Apply cleaning solution to the cloth, not directly onto the
Gas Module. DO NOT apply large amounts of liquid. DO NOT use abrasive cleaning
agents or organic solvents.
