How to Apply the Cuff

The cuff of OMRON Digital Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor HEM-907 plays an important role of
collecting the information on blood vessels. Please wrap the cuff correctly according to the procedure.
Do not wrap the cuff over the arm to which
intravenous injection or transfusion is being
conducted.
• Intravenous injection or transfusion will be
impossible.
Do not erroneously connect the air tube or the
cuff to the tube of other equipment connected
to intracorporeal organ.
• Air may get into blood vessel.
1. Select the cuff according to the arm
circumference of the patient.
Arm circumference Name of the cuff
17 - 22 cm
22 - 32 cm
32 - 42 cm
• Use cuff that is suitable for the size of the patient's
arm.
• If a cuff not suitable for the arm size is used, blood
pressure may not be measured correctly.
• Check the following before wrapping the cuff.
1) The bladder is securely installed in the cuff.
2) The bladder is not twisted inside the cuff.
3) The bladder tube is protruding from the cuff as
shown in the Figure on the right.
2. Connect the air tube securely.
• When connecting the air tube to the main unit,
securely connect the air plug to the base of the air
connector.
• Securely connect the air tube and the cuff/bladder
set by rotating them as shown in the Figure.
• If you connect the attached 1 m air tube, the air
tube can be used with the entire length of 1.2 m.
3. Prepare the patient to be ready to
wrap the cuff.
• Wrap the cuff directly on the arm as a rule.
• If the cuff is wrapped over a thick cloth or by
rolling up a jacket or a shirt, blood pressure may
not be measured correctly.
