petMAP graphic - Cuff Sizes and Application

To Previous Page

When wrapping the cuff around the animal’s limb, the index

line should fall between the two “OPTIMUM REGION” dotted

lines, as shown, but NEVER out of the solid boundary lines.

There are various sizes of CritterCuffs available to cover the

range of limb sizes commonly encountered in companion

animals. For accuracy of the reading, it is essential that the

proper cuff be selected and applied snugly to the limb. Only

CritterCuffs should be used with the petMAP since the cuff

and unit form a system specifically designed for sensitive and

accurate blood pressure measurement in companion animals.

The “optimum region” is petMAP specific.

Seven CritterCuffs are packaged with each petMAP. Their

sizes are: 5.5 cm, 4.5 cm, 4.0 cm, 3.5 cm, 3.0 cm, 2.5 cm,

2.0 cm

Larger cuff sizes are available. Call Customer Service for

more information (800-231-6370 or 813-289-5555).

CUFF SIZE IS IMPORTANT!!

The CritterCuffs may be used for dogs and cats on any of the

three recommended positions: forearm, hind foot, or tail. For

best accuracy and reliability, the size of cuff should be chosen

so that the cuff’s index line falls within the “optimum region” of

the cuff indicated by the dotted lines when the cuff is snuggly

applied to the selected limb. In no circumstance should the cuff

index line be outside the solid boundary lines.
