HOW TO TAKE A READING

1. Make sure the person is seated with their feet flat and
back and arm supported. Resting the arm at heart level.

CAUTION:

MAKE SURE ALL COMPONENTS ARE ASSEMBLED COR­RECTLY AND SECURELY. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT
IN INJURY OR AN INCORRECT READING

2. Locate brachial artery by placing two fingers 2 cm above
the bend of the elbow on the inside of the arm.

3. Place the bottom edge of the cuff approximately 1-2 cm
above the elbow.

stays in place. Fasten the cuff by pressing the hook material
firmly against the fuzzy pile material. lf necessary, readjust

front of you. Hold the inflation bulb in your other hand. Close
the air release valve attached to the inflation bulb by turning
it clock wise.

7. To inflate the cuff, rapidly squeeze the inflation bulb.
Inflate the cuff until the gauge reaches approximately 20-30
mmHg ABOVE normal SYSTOLIC reading.

CAUTION:

DO NOT INFLATE THE CUFF ABOVE 280 mmHg.YOU MAY
INJURE THE PATIENT OR DAMAGE THE INSTRUMENT.

8. Slowly open the air release valve by turning it coun­ter- clockwise. Release the air at a rate of 2-4 mmHg per
second.

9. Listen carefully for the appearance of sounds, watching
the gauge needle. When you hear the first appearance of
sound, it is the SYSTOLIC blood pressure reading.

10. Continue to release the air at a rate of 2-4 mmHg per
second. When you no longer hear any sounds, that is the
DIASTOLIC blood pressure reading.

11. Turn the air release valve counter-clockwise to release
the remaining air. Record the reading.
