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 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.

Inserting Bladder into Cuff
To insert the bladder into the cuff;
1. Roll bladder into a tube starting from
(Figure 2)
long edge opposite tubing (Figure 2).
2. Insert left edge of bladder into cuff
opening (at bottom edge of cuff) until it
is completely inside. Shake cuff until
bladder fully unravels. (Figure 3).
3. Thread tubes through smaller openings
(from inside of cuff out) and tuck flap in
to secure bladder. To make sure that
bladder fills compartment, inflate before
(Figure 3)
initial use. (Figure 4).
WARNING: If luer lock connectors
are used in the construction of tubing,
there is a possibility that they might be
inadvertently connected to intra-vascular
fluid systems, allowing air to be pumped
into a blood vessel. Immediately consult
a physician if this occurs.
(Figure 4)
Cuff Models: 845 Series
Intended Use:
ADC®blood pressure cuffs are noninvasive blood pressure cuffs that are intended
for use with manual and automated noninvasive blood pressure measurement
devices.
WARNING: The clock style manometer is designed for
use with TWO tube systems where one tube connects to
the coiled tubing attached to the manometer, and the other
connects to the inflation source (bulb and valve)
CAUTION: For all blood pressure systems that can be wall
mounted, ensure that the unit is securely mounted prior to use
to avoid damage to the instrument and potential patient injury.
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. 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. No manometers that have their indicator needle resting outside of this mark are acceptable
for use (Figure 1). The manufacturer recommends a
calibration check every 2 years.
