ure the systolic and diastolic pressure as follows: a)
Place the stethoscope gently over the spot on the bra-
chial artery where the pulse is the strongest. b) Pump
up the cuff to approx. 30 mmHg over the previously
estimated systolic pressure. c) Reduce the pressure by
2 to 3 mmHg per second. Check the actual pressure
release rate using the pressure gauge. d) Make note of
the systolic pressure value as soon as you hear two
successive heartbeats. e) Make note of the diastolic
pressure value as soon as the rhythmic heartbeat
sound dissipates (K5).
We recommend K4 for the auscultation of children
between the ages of 3 and 12 years old. K4 is when the
sound heard with the stethoscope changes from a
clear sound to a muffled sound. For pregnant patients,
we recommend that K5 be used for auscultation unless
the heartbeat can be heard when the cuff is deflated, in
which case K4 should be used. Record both measured
values rounded up to the next even number (measured
in mmHg).
Measure the systolic and diastolic pressure carefully.
Repeat the measurement if necessary or if there is ever
an uncertainty or distraction. Do not perform the
measurement hastily.
Cleaning:
Monitor and accessories (without cuff): To clean
the device, first use only a soft dry cloth. The ball, valve
and tubes are to be wiped clean with a mild detergent
and a damp cloth.
Cuff: If necessary, wipe the cuff clean with a damp
cloth.
Disinfection:
Cuff: The cuff can be wiped clean with a damp cloth
and soap or disinfectant. The cuffs have been tested for
durability with the following recommended disinfect-
ing agents: Buraton (liquid), Cidex®, Ethanol 70%,
isopropyl alcohol 70%, Mikrozid® and Sporicidin®.
After being disinfected, the cuff is to be rinsed with
clean water and air-dried.
