Measuring blood pressure: Have the patient, while relaxed and in a sitting position, extend the arm from which the blood pressure will be taken to the front or laterally with the palm of the hand up. Attach the cuff and diaphragm: Hold the end of the cuff containing the inflation bag firmly against the inside of the bare upper arm with the artery symbol positioned over the brachial artery. Never place the cuff over clothing. Pull the opposite end of the cuff snugly around the arm and secure the Velcro® strips. The range lines, indicated by the arrows, show the correct cuff size when the cuff is placed on the arm. If the index line on the end of the cuff falls between the two range lines, the cuff is the proper size. If the index line falls outside the range lines, a larger or smaller cuff should be used. The cuff should be snug, but not too tight. If one or two fingers can fit between the cuff and the arm, the cuff is properly secured. Place the diaphragm of the stethoscope over the brachial artery inferior to the cuff. Labtron 222 / V222B Wallmax Professional Aneroid Sphygmomanometer Inflating the cuff: Close the bulb’s air valve by turning the air release valve clockwise. Squeeze the inflation bulb at a steady rate until the gauge’s needle points at approximately 30mmHg above the individual’s normal systolic pressure value. If the individual’s normal blood pressure is not known, it is recommended to inflate to 200mmHg. Systolic blood pressure reading: Open the air release valve slowly by turning it counter-clockwise while holding the diaphragm of the stethoscope over the brachial artery. Proper deflation rate is vital for an accurate reading. The recommended deflation rate is 2-3mmHg per second, or a drop of one to two marks on the pressure gauge with each heartbeat. Do not keep the cuff inflated any longer than necessary. As the cuff begins to deflate, listen carefully with the stethoscope. Note the reading on the gauge as soon as a faint, rhythmic tapping or thumping sound is heard. The first sound is the systolic pressure reading. Always check with your health care provider to ensure readings are performed correctly. Diastolic blood pressure reading: Allow the pressure to continue dropping at the same deflation rate. Note the reading on the gauge when the last audible thumping, swishing, or blowing sound is heard; this is the diastolic blood pressure reading. After a few seconds have passed and no audible thumping, swishing, or blowing sounds are heard, deflate the cuff using the air release valve completely. Remove the cuff and stethoscope from the arm. Record the systolic and diastolic readings. Repeat the measurement two or more times to ensure accuracy. Only a patient’s physician is qualified to analyze blood pressure. Labtron 222 / V222B Wallmax Professional Aneroid Sphygmomanometer MAINTENANCE Recommended care and maintenance: Do not drop or pull excessively on the sphygmomanometer components. Never inflate beyond 300mmHg. Do not expose the cuff to direct sunlight. Do not put the sphygmomanometer in contact with sharp objects which could pierce the material and cause damage. Do not dismantle or disassemble. Cleaning Wipe off the manometer and bulb with a clean, damp cloth. Wash the cuff with soap and cold water, rinse and air dry. Do not press cuff with a hot iron. Sterilization Do not use steam, heat or liquid disinfectants to sterilize the cuff, inflation system or manometer. Gas sterilization may be used on the cuff only, if necessary. Storage Always deflate the cuff completely before storage.
