ADC 774 Series Maintenance Manual

Aneroid Sphygmomanometer
This IFU pertains to ADC ® models: 809D, 809SPU,and the 774 series.

Intended Use:

This package contains one (1) aneroid manometer for use with an aneroid sphygmo-
manometer. Aneroid sphygmomanometers are used by professional healthcare
providers and individuals trained in auscultatory blood pressure technique to determine
systolic and diastolic blood pressure in humans.
Contraindications:
Aneroid sphygmomanometers are contraindicated for neonate use. Do not use with
neonatal cuffs or neonate patients.
General Warnings
A warning statement in this manual identifies a condition or practice which, if not
corrected or discontinued immediately, could lead to patient injury, illness, or death.
WARNING: Consult the original equipment manufacturer's instructions for use when in-
stalling this manometer. When modifying any blood pressure measurement device, care
must be taken to verify the accuracy of the device by comparing it to a calibrated reference
manometer. Reference manometers must be calibrated in accordance with national or in-
ternational measurement standards.
WARNING: Safety and effectiveness with neonate cuff sizes 1 through 5 is not estab-
lished.
WARNING: Extreme shock and vibration may reduce the accuracy of this manometer over
time. Care should be taken to avoid conditions that would subject the manometer to shock
and vibration.
WARNING: Do not attempt to disassemble or modify this manometer.
CAUTION: Do not allow a blood pressure cuff to remain on arm for more than 10 minutes
when inflated above 10 mmHg. This may cause patient distress, disturb blood circulation,
and contribute to the injury of peripheral nerves.
WARNING WHEN USED INSTITUTIONALLY: If luer lock connectors are used in the
construction of tubing, there is a possibility that they might be inadvertently connected to
intravascular fluid systems, allowing air to be pumped into a blood vessel.
CAUTION: To obtain the greatest accuracy from your blood pressure instrument, it is rec-
ommended that the instrument be used within a temperature range of 50°F (10°C) to
104°F (40°C), with a relative humidity range of 15-85% (non-condensing).
