• 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.

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.
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: Do not apply cuff to delicate or damaged skin. Check cuff site
frequently for irritation.
WARNING: Safety and effectiveness with neonate cuff sizes 1 through 5 is
not established.
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.
CAUTION: Do not iron cuff.
CAUTION: Do not heat or steam sterilize cuff.
Bulb and Valve Assembly - Model 872N
Intended Use
ADC
®
blood pressure bulb and valves allow for
controlled inflation and deflation of the blood pressure
cuff. They are intended for use with manual
noninvasive blood pressure measurement devices.
To Operate:
Close the valve by fully rotating thumbscrew clockwise. To open, rotate
counterclockwise. Deflation should be maintained at a consistent rate of
2-3mmHg/second throughout measurement for best results (in accordance
with recommendations set forth by the AHA).
Maintenance:
Your bulb and valve assembly is equipped with an end valve that allows the intake
of air into your blood pressure device. It is recommended that the end valve be
checked for debris and cleared on a regular basis to ensure that dust and other
debris does not reduce airflow. NOTE: Some end valves are equipped with a filter
screen to help prevent the ingress of dust from the environment.
Manometer Quality Control
A Serial number and Lot number are automatically
assigned to every aneroid during manufacturing,
ensuring every item is "controlled".
This Serial Number can be located on the
faceplate of each aneroid (Figure 6).
The Lot number is located on the outside
label of all accessory packaging
(Figure 7).
Disposal
When your sphygmomanometer or any of its parts have reached its end of life,
please be sure to dispose of it in accordance with all regional and national
environmental regulations. Devices that have become contaminated should be
disposed of in accordance with all local ordinances and regulations.
