3. Inflate the cuff Close the ADFLOWTM valve by turning thumbscrew clockwise. DiagnostixTM Aneroids 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. Pocket, Palm, Clock Type Use, Care, & Maintenance 4. 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. 5. Deflate the cuff Open the valve to deflate the cuff gradually at a rate of 2-3 mmHg per second. 6. 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 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 STORAGE: 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 (-20°C) to 131°F (55°C) with a relative humidity of 90%. NOTE: Store gauge with valve in full exhaust position. (Figure 3) Manometer: Your ADC DIAGNOSTIX brand pocket aneroid gauge (#800 or #802), palm aneroid (804N) or clock aneroid (805) requires minimal care and maintenance. TM The manometer may be cleaned with a soft cloth but should not be dismantled under any circumstances. Gauge accuracy can be checked visually; simply be certain the needle rests within the printed oval when the unit is fully deflated (Figure 3). Should the indicator needle of the manometer rest outside of this calibration mark, 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.
