Fitting The Rigid Cuff (6023N Only) - ADC 6021N Instruction Manual

• The permissible range is printed on the cuff. If this is not suitable for your
use, please call 1-800-232-2670.
NOTE: Only use approved ADC
• A loose cuff or a sideways protruding air pocket causes false measurement
values.
• With repeated measurements, blood accumulates in the arm, which can
lead to false results. Consecutive blood pressure measurements should be
repeated after a 1 minute pause or after your arm has been held up in order
to allow the accumulated blood to flow away. If you decide to take your
Averaging Mode measurement again, be sure to wait at least one minute
beforehand.

6.3. Fitting the Rigid Cuff (6023N only)

a) The cuff is pre-formed for easier use. Remove tight
or bulky clothing from your upper arm.
b) Wrap the cuff around your upper left arm.
The rubber tube should be on the inside of
your arm extending downward to your
hand. Make certain the cuff lies
approximately 1/2−3/4" (1−2 cm) above the elbow.
Important! The red strip on the edge of the cuff (Artery
Mark) must lie over the artery which runs down the inner
side of the arm.
c) To secure the cuff, wrap it around your arm and press
the hook and loop closure together.
d) There should be little free space between your arm
and the cuff. You should be able to fit 2 fingers
between your arm and the cuff. Cuffs that don't fit
properly result in false measurement values. Measure
your arm circumference if you are not sure of proper fit.
e) Lay your arm on a table (palm upward) so the cuff is at the
same height as your heart. Make sure the tube is not kinked.
f) Remain seated quietly for at least two minutes before
you begin the measurement.
