Cuff Selection and Connection

Selecting the cuff

Warning

Treat a cuff used on a patient with an infection as medical waste, or sufficiently sterilize the cuff 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 too large a cuff is used, the measured blood pressure value tends to be lower than the actual blood pressure. If too small a cuff 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.

Cuff name		Arm circumference
	(inch)		(cm)
GS CUFF XL (GCUFF-XL)*	17-20		42 - 50
GS CUFF L (GCUFF-L)	13-17		32 - 42
GS CUFF M (GCUFF-M)	9-13		22 - 32
GS CUFF S (GCUFF-S)*	7-9		17 - 22
GS CUFF SS (GCUFF-SS)*	5-7		12 - 18

* Available as an optional accessory.

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 make the hose longer than 3.5 m, as this will affect measurement accuracy.

•Make sure the connections are tight.
