Page 3: Gauge Calibration
Gauge Calibration The indicator needle should always rest within the rectangular calibration area. If this is not the case, your gauge needs to be recalibrated to within 3mmHg when compared to a certified reference standard. If recalibration is required, please refer to your warranty and return instructions on page 13. - Page 4 Aneroid Sphygmomanometer Anatomy Range Marking Index Hook & Loop (reverse side) Marking Closure Gauge Holder Cuff Cuff Size Aneroid Artery Manometer Indicator Gauge Label Inflation Valve Bulb Bladder Air Release Tube (Hose) Valve...

- Page 7 Position of the Patient The patient should sit or lie comfortably so that the arm is firmly supported at heart level. The observer should be sure to have a view of the manometer in a direct line to avoid parallax error (i.e. a mis-reading due to skewed visual perception).
- Page 8 Cuff Inflation • Turn the thumbscrew clockwise to close the air release valve. • Palpate the radial artery while quickly inflating the cuff. • Inflate cuff to 20 to 30mmHg above the point at which the radial pulse disappears. Never inflate the cuff past 300mmHg. This will damage the gauge and void the warranty.
- Page 9 Measurement Record the onset of Korotkoff sounds (systolic pressure) and their disappearance (diastolic pressure). For greatest accuracy this instrument should be used in a temperature range between 50°F (10°C) and 104°F (40°C). Use in temperatures outside of that range may result in an inaccurate reading.
