Applying the Cuff to the Patient
The monitor can be used on either
the right or left arm.
Wrap the cuff on a bare arm or over
thin clothing. Thick clothing or a
rolled up sleeve will cause
inaccurate blood pressure
measurements.
1. Make sure the cuff tube is not bent.
The cuff tube should be on the peripheral side.
2. Wrap the cuff so that the INDEX ARTERY "
" is directly over the
brachial artery.
The brachial artery is on the inner side of the patient's upper arm.
Make sure that the INDEX ARTERY "
" is within the range. If outside
the
range, there will be greater error in the blood
pressure value. In this case, use the appropriate cuff size.
* Attach the cuff so that the bottom edge is 1 to 2 cm from the inner
side of the elbow joint.
* The cuff should be wrapped to a tightness that roughly allows two
¿ ngers to be inserted under the cuff.
3. During measurement, keep the brachial artery on which the cuff
is wrapped at the same height as the right atrium of the heart.
