Cleaning

Visually inspect the monitor, air hose, and pressure cuff for dirt, debris, frayed or worn areas, etc.
prior to patient use.
Cleaning the Monitor
Use a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent mixed with water to wipe the exterior of the monitor. Clean
the air hose with isopropyl alcohol.
Cleaning the Cuff and Carrying Pouch
Small soiled or stained areas may be cleaned by gentle scrubbing with a sponge or cloth soaked in
a mild soap and water solution.
The cuff wrap (with the air bladder removed) and the pouch are machine washable on "delicate"
cycle only. Do not wash in large commercial-type washers or with bed linens or gowns.
Ensure that the carrying pouch is dry before re-use.
Removing/Installing the Bladder
To remove the bladder, follow the steps listed below.
1. Using fingers only, fold or roll up the bladder inside the cuff. Do not use pencils, pens, or other
hard objects as these may damage the bladder.
2. Remove the bladder through the hose exit opening.
Once the bladder has been removed, mate together the hook and loop surfaces of the velcro
attachment before washing.
