(MANUAL or AUTO).
If the measurement is not successful, you will see dashes (- - -) displayed in the
place of the pressure values. You will see a message displayed in the NIBP
parameter box. NIBP readings will not continue until the error message is
acknowledged, but the five-minute timer will continue to run.

1. Place the Cuff Cap on the end of the cuff hose.
NOTE! Failure to place the cuff cap on the hose will allow water to enter
the bladder. This will cause the cuff to malfunction and will
damage the monitor.
2. Pre-clean the cuff by removing contaminate material, hair, and debris.
3. Wash the cuff in a regular load of laundry, or hand-wash.
4. Allow the cuff to air-dry.
CAUTION! Do not place the cuff in the dryer.
