Medical Devices Operator Ordinance.
Preliminary remarks
This blood pressure monitor complies with the international standard ISO
81060-1.
The device can be used with any arm circumference as indicated on the
associated cuff.
Modification of the device and/or accessories is not permitted. This can
result in measurement errors.
The device can be used by any user who has knowledge of auscultatory blood
pressure measurement.
Intended purpose
Non-invasive measurement of systolic and diastolic blood pressure in humans.
Indication
Checking blood pressure in humans. Diagnosis, monitoring or suspicion of
hypotension or hypertension.
Contraindication
Blood pressure should not be measured in the following cases:
- Venous or arterial access
- Lymphoedema (e.g. mastectomy)
- Fresh surgical wounds
Intended users
The boso aneroid devices are used by doctors or healthcare professionals
trained in auscultatory blood pressure measurement.
Target patient group
The boso aneroid devices are suitable for measuring blood pressure in adults,
children, infants and newborns.
Important notes
Keep the unit away from strong vibrations (do not bump or drop it) and protect
it from dirt and moisture. Make sure that the cuff is not damaged by sharp
objects (needle, scissors, etc.).
The device must no longer be used if there is visible damage, leakage or
misalignment of the pressure pointer (e.g. zero point shifted).
Do not inflate above 300 mmHg!
The measuring time should not exceed 2 min. There must be a break of at least
2 minutes between 2 measurements.
The patient must observe the following when measuring blood pressure:
Sit comfortably
Do not cross the legs
Lean on or otherwise support the back and arms
Remain as relaxed as possible during the measurement and do not speak
Rest for 5 minutes before the first measurement
Attaching the cuff
he cuff must not be applied over wounds as this may cause further injury.
Important: The stethoscope membranes for listening to the Korotkoff sounds
must be placed on the artery inside the upper arm.
Put the cuff on so that the lower edge of the cuff ends approx. 2-3 cm above
the crook of the elbow and the centre of the rubber bag (marking on the cuff)
is above the artery. The cuff should not be too tight, about two fingers
should still fit between the arm and the cuff.
Make sure that rolled up clothes do not put pressure on the arm, which would
affect the blood circulation. It is better to take off tight-fitting items of
clothing before measuring.
Performing a measurement
Blood pressure must always be measured on the arm with the higher pressure
values. To do this, first measure the blood pressure on both arms and then
always on the arm whose blood pressure value is higher.
Close the valve completely by turning the air release screw clockwise or by
pumping it hard on devices with a push-button valve. Inflate the cuff beyond
systolic pressure. By turning the air release screw (anticlockwise) or
operating the push button, the release speed can be adjusted. The WHO (World
Health Organisation) recommends a release rate of 2 to 3 mmHg/sec.
To avoid a reading error, read the pressure values perpendicular to the scale.
It is recommended that during auscultatory measurement
- of adults the phase V (K5)
- of children aged 3 to 12 years the phase IV (K4)
- of pregnant women phase V (K5) is used, except for those where sounds are audible when the cuff is deflated, in which case phase IV (K4) of the Korotkoff sounds should be used.
K5 is the point at which the sounds heard with the stethoscope are no longer
audible. K4 is the point at which the sounds heard with the stethoscope change
from a clear beating sound to a muffled beating sound. After the measurement
is finished, open the release valve completely for rapid cuff
deflation.pressure in adults, children, infants and newborns.
Cuffs
Only use boso cuffs that are suitable for your device (1-tube, 2-tube or
2-in-1 tube cuffs). The cuff must be chosen to fit the arm circumference. To
obtain reliable measurement results, please measure the arm circumference with
a measuring tape and compare it with the information on the cuff. If you need
a different or a range of cuff size(s), please contact your dealer.
