5.3.5 Applying the ViSi Mobile Cuff Module and Disposable Cuff
ViSi Mobile Disposable Cuffs are for single patient use only. To avoid
possible cross contamination, do not reuse a Cuff on a patient other than the
original patient.

To apply the Cuff Module

1. Remove the Cuff from the Disposable Kit.
2. Squeeze as much air out of the Cuff as possible.
3. Ensure that the patient is resting so that the upper arm muscles are relaxed. The level of the middle
of the Cuff, while the arm is at rest, should be approximately at heart level.
4. Connect the Cuff Module securely to the Cuff.
5. Wrap the Cuff around the upper part of the same arm to which the Monitor is attached.
• Align the bottom part of the Cuff approximately 1" above the antecubital fossa.
• Align the artery marker on the Cuff with the brachial artery.
• The connector for the Cuff Module should be to the outside of the arm, away from the
body.
• The cable from the Cuff Module should be hanging down in the direction of the Monitor.
• Have the patient remain still to avoid the introduction of unnecessary motion artifact.
Note: The ViSi Mobile Disposable Cuff is designed to be used on the same arm with the other ViSi
Mobile sensors. It may temporarily cause the loss of function of other devices (not ViSi
Mobile) simultaneously used on the same limb.
Note: Only attach one ViSi Mobile Cuff Module to the ViSi Mobile Monitor..
The ViSi Mobile Disposable Cuff should be snug enough to support the Cuff
Module while not impairing circulation when deflated.
