Cuff Selection and Connection

Selecting the cuff
Warning
If a cuff is used on a patient with an infection, treat the cuff as medical waste, or disinfect before
reuse.
Caution
• Do not use the cuff if it is damaged or has holes.
• Use the appropriate cuff size to ensure correct measurements. If a cuff that is too large is used, the
measured blood pressure value tends to be lower than the actual blood pressure. If a cuff that is too
small is used, the measured blood pressure value tends to be higher.
Note:
It is important to use the correct sized cuff for a patient in order to get an accurate reading.
Measure the circumference of the patient's arm and select the cuff size
that is appropriate for the circumference.
Select the cuff that is suitable for the patient from the cuffs below.

Connecting the cuff
Connect the cuff tube to the NIBP connector on the unit and turn
clockwise to lock.
Caution
Only OMRON GS CUFF can be used with this device.
Note:
• If the cuff tube is too short, the optional 3.5 m or 1.5 m CUFF HOSE can be connected to lengthen the
cuff tube. Do not extend other than the optional 3.5 m or 1.5 m CUFF HOSE, as this will affect
measurement accuracy.
• Make sure the connections are tight.
