Figure 3-6 Microphone (identified by red tab) over
brachial artery
2018112-001 Revision B
Preparations
Applying the Blood-Pressure Cuff
Switch on the eBike BEFORE applying the blood
pressure cuff to the patient.
Erroneous Measurements —
– Apply the cuff directly on the skin. Rolled up
sleeves must not impede blood circulation in the
upper arm. Use only the cuffs listed in chapter 9.
– Loose cuffs will cause erroneous
measurements; overtight cuffs may constrict
blood vessels or cause skin lesions or
hematomas.
Ensure that the microphone is correctly positioned in
the red cuff pocket: the brass-colored side must face
the artery.
Feel the brachial artery and position the microphone
exactly above the artery.
Deflate the cuff and wrap it tightly around the upper
arm so that it neither slips down nor impedes
circulation of the blood. Ensure that the cuff does not
reach the bend of the elbow.
Check that the cuff tubing does not knock against any
object when the patient holds the handlebar and starts
pedaling.
Instruct your patient to avoid excessive contractions
of the muscles in their upper arm during a blood-
pressure measurement.
