3. Operation and function

3.1 Symbol identification

mm Hg Millimetres of mercury
kPa Kilopascals

3.2 Startup

Close the release valve (2) by turning it clockwise.
Screw the tube screw connection at the end of the cuff tube into the designated
tube connection on the manometer.
Before each use, the komprimeter with its cuff must be checked by trained
personnel (doctor) for function and absence of leaks.
3.2.2 Applying the cuff
Place the cuff around the desired limb and pull the straps attached to the cuff
through the metal buckles. The tube outlet should be approximately in the
middle of the limb to be treated.
3.2.3 Replacing the pad
Remove the pad via the side opening of the cuff and insert a new pad
through the same opening. Pull the tube through the opening on the long side
of the cuff.
3.2.4 Operating the pump
Hold the pump (4) securely with one hand and with the other hand, pull care-
fully on the airpipe of the air pump by the black plastic ball until it stops and
push it back again into the pump.
Repeat the pumping process until you have achieved the desired value on the
manometer scale.

3.3 Generating blood depletion in the limbs

3.3.1 Generating blood depletion in the limbs
In order to empty blood vessels in the arms, the manometer must be inflated
with the pump to approx. 250 mm Hg.
3.3.2 Generating blood depletion in the legs
In order to empty blood vessels in the legs, the manometer must be inflated
with the pump to approx. 550 mm Hg.
3.3.3 Pressure control
The set pressure shown by the manometer must be continuously monitored
by a responsible doctor during use and if necessary can be corrected by further
pumping.

3.4 Deflating the cuff after the procedure

Open the air release valve (2). The air can now escape from the cuff. The cuff
can now be removed.
