Inflate the cuff
Close the Adflow valve by turning thumbscrew clockwise.
Palpate the radial artery while inflating the cuff. Be sure to inflate cuff quickly by
squeezing bulb rapidly.
Inflate cuff 20-30 mmHg above the point at which the radial pulse disappears.
NOTE: Cuff pressure range is 0 mmHg to 300 mmHg.
Position the Stethoscope
Position the chestpiece in the antecubital space below the cuff, distal to the brachium.
Do not place chestpiece underneath the cuff, as this impedes accurate measurement.
Use the bell side of a combination stethoscope for clearest detection of the low-
pitched Korotkoff (pulse) sounds.
Deflate the cuff
Open the valve to deflate the cuff gradually at a rate of 2-3 mmHg per second.
Measurement
Record the onset of Korotkoff sounds as the systolic pressure, and the disappearance
of these sounds as diastolic pressure. (Some healthcare professionals recommend
recording diastolic 1 and diastolic 2. Diastolic 1 occurs at phase 4).
NOTE: It is recommended that K4 be used in children aged 3 to 12, and K5 should
be used for pregnant female patients unless sounds are audible with the cuff deflated,
in which case K4 should be used. K5 should be used for all other adult patients.
After measurement is completed, open valve fully to release any remaining air in the
cuff. Remove cuff.
Care and Maintenance
Pocket Gauge: After measurement, fully exhaust cuff then wrap cuff around gauge
and bulb and store in zippered carrying case.
Palm Gauge: After measurement, fully exhaust cuff and store in zippered carrying
case. If unit will not be used for an extended period of time, leave the trigger valve in
the full exhaust position.
Clock Gauge: After measurement, fully exhaust cuff then wrap cuff around bulb and
store in storage compartment.
NOTE: This product will maintain the safety and performance characteristics specified
at temperatures ranging from 50°F to 104°F (10°C to 40°C) at a relative humidity
level of 15% to 85%. This device can safely be stored at temperatures ranging from -
4°F (-20°C) to 131°F (55°C) with a relative humidity of 90%.
Manometer: Your Diagnostix brand pocket aneroid gauge (#800 or #802), palm
aneroid (804N) or clock aneroid (805) requires minimal care and maintenance.
The manometer may be cleaned with a soft cloth but should not be dismantled under
any circumstances.
Should the indicator needle of the manometer rest outside
the oval calibration mark (Figure 5), then the manometer
must be re-calibrated to within ±3 mmHg when compared
to a reference device that has been certified to national or
international measurement standards. A manometer
whose indicator needle is resting outside of this mark, is
NOT acceptable for use.
In the event that the gauge is ever in need of calibration, simply return to ADC.
Damaged or broken parts will be replaced as needed at a minimum charge. Refer to
the warranty for specific details of warranty coverage.
The manufacturer recommends a calibration check every 2 years.
Cuff Cleaning and Disinfecting
Use one or more of the following methods and allow to air dry:
• Wipe with mild detergent and water solution (1:9 solution). Rinse.
• Wipe with Enzol per manufacturer's instructions. Rinse.
• Wipe with .5% bleach and water solution. Rinse
• Wipe with 70% isopropyl alcohol.
• Launder with mild detergent in warm water, normal wash cycle.
Remove bladder first. Cuff is compatible with 5 wash cycles.
Low-Level Disinfection
Prepare Enzol enzymatic detergent according to the manufacturer's instructions. Spray
detergent solution liberally onto cuff and use a sterile brush to agitate the detergent
solution over entire cuff surface for five minutes. Rinse continuously with distilled
water for five minutes. To disinfect, first follow the cleaning steps above, then spray
cuff with 10% bleach solution until saturated, agitate with a sterile brush over entire cuff
surface for five minutes. Rinse continuously with distilled water for five minutes. Wipe
off excess water with sterile cloth and allow cuff to air dry.
CAUTION: Do not iron cuff.
CAUTION: Do not heat or steam sterilize cuff.
Manometer Quality Control
A serial number and lot number are
automatically assigned to every aneroid
during manufacturing, ensuring every
item is controlled.
The serial number can be located on the
faceplate of each aneroid (Figure 6).
The lot number is located on the outside
label of the manometer packaging
(Figure 7).
Standards
ANSI/AAMI/ISO 81060-1:2007, EN/ISO 81060-1:2012
Disposal
When your sphygmomanometer or any of its parts have reached their end of life,
please be sure to dispose of them in accordance with all regional and national
environmental regulations. Devices that have become contaminated should be
disposed of in accordance with all local ordinances and regulations.
NOTE: Store gauge with
valve in full exhaust position.
