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.

Adcuff Intended Use

ADC blood pressure cuffs are noninvasive and are intended for use with manual and automated noninvasive blood pressure measurement devices.
ADC’s Size Guide marking system assures use of correct cuff size and proper cuff alignment. Printed Index and Range markings and applicable limb range (in cm) allow easy identification of the correct cuff size. An artery mark printed on both sides indicates bladder midpoint for correct cuff positioning. A convenient nylon gauge hang tab permits flexible use with either pocket aneroids or mercury manometers. Hook-and-loop adhesive surface provides a snug, infinitely variable fit and is designed to withstand a minimum of 30,000 open/close cycles.

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. Prior to measurement the patient should relax 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
Adcuff nylon cuffs are specially designed to promote the precisely accurate determination of blood pressure. Index and range markings ensure use of the correct cuff size. The artery mark indicates proper cuff positioning. 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 3).
To verify a correct fit, check that the Index Line falls between the two Range Lines (Figure 4).

Inflate the cuff
Close the Adflow 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 lowpitched 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 1 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 female 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

Pocket Gauge: After measurement, fully exhaust cuff then wrap cuff around gauge and bulb and store in zippered carrying case.
Palm Gauge: After measurement, fully exhaust cuff and store in zippered carrying case. If unit will not be used for an extended period of time, leave the trigger valve in the full exhaust position.
Clock Gauge: After measurement, fully exhaust cuff then wrap cuff around bulb and store in storage compartment.
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 safely be stored at temperatures ranging from -4°F to 158°F (-20°C to 70°C) with a relative humidity of 15% to 85%.
Manometer: Your Diagnostix brand pocket aneroid gauge (#800 or #802), palm aneroid (#804N) or clock aneroid (#805) 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 5), 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 indicator needle is resting outside of this mark is NOT acceptable for use.

NOTE: Store gauge with valve in full exhaust position. (Figure 5)

In the event that the gauge is ever in need of calibration, simply return to ADC. Damaged or broken parts will be replaced as needed at a minimum charge. Refer to the warranty for specific details of warranty coverage.
The manufacturer recommends a calibration check every 2 years.

Cuff Cleaning and Disinfecting

Use one or more of the following methods and allow to air dry:

• Wipe with mild detergent and water solution (1:9 solution). Rinse.
• Wipe with Enzol per manufacturer’s instructions. Rinse.
• Wipe with .5% bleach and water solution. Rinse
• Wipe with 70% isopropyl alcohol.
• Launder with mild detergent in warm water, normal wash cycle. Remove bladder first. Cuff is compatible with 5 wash cycles.

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.
