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

Manometer: Your ADC DIAGNOSTIX
TM
brand pocket aneroid gauge (#800 or #802),
palm aneroid (804) 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.
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.
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
NOTE: 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.
