Instructions for Use
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 4).
The lot number is located on the box end label (Figure 5).

Aneroid sphygmomanometer.
Device Description and Intended Use
An ADC ® aneroid sphygmomanometer is used by professional healthcare providers and individuals trained in the auscultatory blood pressure technique to determine systolic and diastolic blood pressure in humans.
Contraindications
Aneroid sphygmomanometers are contraindicated for neonate use. Do not use with neonatal cuffs or neonate patients. Review the size chart (below) for proper limb range.

General Warnings
A warning statement in this manual identifies a condition or practice which, if not corrected or discontinued immediately could lead to patient injury, illness, or death.
WARNING: Do not allow a blood pressure cuff to remain on patient for more than 10 minutes when inflated above 10 mmHg. This may cause patient distress, disturb blood circulation, and contribute to the injury of peripheral nerves.
WARNING: If luer lock connectors are used in the construction of tubing, there is a possibility that they might be inadvertently connected to intra-vascular fluid systems, allowing air to be pumped into a blood vessel. Immediately consult a physician if this occurs.
WARNING: Safety and effectiveness with neonate cuff sizes 1 through 5 is not established.
WARNING: If this equipment is modified, appropriate inspection and testing must be conducted to ensure its continued safe use.
WARNING: Do not apply cuff to delicate or damaged skin. Check cuff site frequently for irritation.
WARNING: Only use the cuff when the range markings indicated on the cuff show that the proper cuff size is selected, otherwise erroneous readings may result.
WARNING: Allow space between patient and cuff. Two fingers should fit in this space if the cuff is correctly positioned.
WARNING: Do not apply cuff to limbs used for IV infusion.
WARNING: Patient should remain still during measurement to avoid erroneous readings.
WARNING: When using with an infant or child cuff, extra care must be taken to prevent over-inflation. With smaller cuffs (infant or child) the cuff can inflate to over
300mmHg with just two full compressions of the bulb. To prevent discomfort or injury to the patient and damage to the instrument, bulb should only be partially squeezed, so that each “stroke” inflates the cuff in 40mmHg to 60mmHg increments until inflated to the desired level.
CAUTION: To obtain the greatest accuracy from your blood pressure instrument, it is recommended that the instrument be used within a temperature range of 50°F to
104°F (10°C to 40°C), with a relative humidity range of 15%-85% (non-condensing).
CAUTION: Extreme altitudes may affect blood pressure readings. Your device has been designed for normal environmental conditions.

Bulb & Valve
Most models are preassembled and ready for use.
In units requiring assembly, the bulb and valve should connect to the tube closest to the Index Line. The gauge connects to the remaining tube.
Apply a small amount of alcohol or soapy water to tubing if needed.

Measurement Procedure
Patient Position
The patient should sit or lie comfortably. The arm should be fully supported on a flat surface at heart level. (If the arm’s position varies, or is not level with the heart, measurement values obtained will not be consistent with the patient’s true blood pressure.)
When seated, the patient should have their back and arm supported, and their legs should not be crossed. The patient should relax prior to measurement comfortably for five minutes and should refrain from talking or moving during measurement.
Observer should view manometer in a direct line to avoid “parallax error.”
Apply the Cuff
Nylon cuffs are specially designed to promote the precisely accurate determination of blood pressure.
Index and range markings ensure use
Left Arm of the correct cuff size. The artery mark indicates proper cuff positioning.
Tube
(Figure 1)
Place the cuff over the bare upper arm with the artery mark positioned directly over the brachial artery. The bottom edge of the cuff should be positioned approximately one inch (2-3cm) above the antecubital fold. Wrap the end of the cuff not containing the bladder around the arm snugly and smoothly and engage adhesive strips
(Figure 1).
NOTE: If the unit is equipped with a calibrated nylon cuff, featuring Index and Range markings, a correct fit may be verified by checking that the Index Line falls between the two Range
Lines. (Figure 2).
Index Lines Range Lines
(Figure 2)
Inflate the Cuff
Close the 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 one 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 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
STORAGE
Pocket Gauge: After measurement, fully exhaust cuff then wrap cuff around gauge and bulb and store in zippered carrying case.
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 be safely stored at temperatures ranging from -4°F to 158°F
(-20°C to 70°C) with a relative humidity of 85% or below.
Manometer: Your pocket aneroid gauge 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 3), 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
NOTE: Store gauge with valve in full exhaust position.
indicator needle is resting outside of this mark is NOT acceptable for use.
(Figure 3)
In the event that the gauge is ever in need of calibration, simply return for service.
Damaged or broken parts will be replaced as needed at a minimal charge. Refer to the warranty for specific details of warranty coverage.
The manufacturer recommends a calibration check every 2 years.
