Traditional Cuff Placement

Proper cuff placement is very important to achieve accurate blood pressure measurements.
Follow these instructions to ensure the cuff is accurately placed on the patient.
Traditional cuff
1. Wrap the cuff snugly around the patient's non-dominant arm as shown in the picture,
making sure that the air hose leading from the cuff is not crimped or damaged. The cuff
may be worn over a thin shirt without compromising the readings.
2. Attach an adhesive cuff anchor to the clear tab on the cuff, and fasten the cuff anchor to
the patient.
Note: Make sure that the parameters have been written to the ABPM 6100 monitor
before proceeding. The monitor should be in sleep mode.
3. Attach the tubing from the ABPM 6100 monitor to the cuff tubing and insert the ABPM
6100 monitor into the monitor pouch. Attach the pouch to the shoulder strap or the belt,
depending upon which is more comfortable to the patient. Be sure to allow enough
slack for the patient to move comfort ably.
