When preparing for a case that includes noninvasive blood pressure
monitoring, be sure to choose the correct cuff size and to place the cuff
correctly. Use the following table to select the appropriate cuff size. If you
don't have a tape measure, use the INDEX and RANGE lines marked on
the cuff as described in "Placing the Cuff," below.

To connect the cuff:
1. Connect the cuff hose (attached to the cuff) to the extension hose
(with a threaded fitting on one end and a Luer lock fitting on the
other end). Insert the Luer lock fitting on the cuff hose into the Luer
lock fitting on the extension hose, and twist until they lock together.
2. Attach the other end of the extension hose to the fitting on the
patient interface panel labeled BP CUFF. Hand-tighten the threaded
hose fitting onto the threaded fitting of the interface panel.
3. Make sure that none of the hoses are pinched or kinked.
After connecting the manual sphygmomanometer, check the gauge's
pressure indication. With zero pressure applied to the gauge and cuff,
the gauge pointer should remain within the band marked on the face
plate.
