Stop A Measurement - ADInstruments Human NIBP Nano Quick Start Manual

7. Stop a measurement

To stop a measurement, simply click Stop in LabChart. Once you have stopped a
measurement, it is recommended to:
1. Disconnect the finger cuff air hoses from the Wrist Unit
air pressure from the finger cuff s and protects them from accidental inflation and
damage.
2. Unwrap and remove the finger cuff s
3. Inspect the finger aft er removing a finger cuff
where the LED and photodiode have pressed on the finger skin (see Figure below).
• Verify that the pressure points are correctly centered between the knuckles and
symmetrically placed on opposite sides of the finger.
• The most common reason for inaccurate finger blood pressure readings is
incorrect cuff application.
• If a cuff is applied too tightly, an unrealistically low reading may result.
• Conversely, if the cuff is applied too loosely, unrealistically high blood pressure
readings may occur.
Cuff s are used to measure blood pressure at the finger. Correct sizing and
positioning are important to obtain reliable measurement results.
