4.1 Sphygmomanometer Setup

1. Remove all components from the carrying case.
2. Ensure the inflation bladder tube is securely connected to the manometer.
3. Ensure the inflation bulb is securely connected to the inflation bladder.
4. Verify that the air release valve on the inflation bulb is fully closed by turning it clockwise.

4.2 Stethoscope Setup

2. Confirm the diaphragm or bell is properly attached and the rotating valve is set to the desired side (diaphragm or bell) for auscultation.

5. Instrucións de funcionamento

5.1 Measuring Blood Pressure with Sphygmomanometer

1. Preparación do paciente: Ensure the patient is relaxed, seated comfortably with their arm supported at heart level. Avoid talking during the measurement.
2. Colocación do manguito:
   • Slide the cuff onto the bare upper arm, approximately 1 inch (2-3 cm) above the elbow joint.
   • Align the artery marker on the cuff with the brachial artery (typically on the inside of the arm).
   • Wrap the cuff snugly around the arm, ensuring it is not too tight or too loose. Utilize the Adcuff calibrated nylon cuff with its proprietary size guide marking system to ensure correct fit for arm circumferences between 23 cm and 40 cm.
3. Inflación: Close the air release valve on the inflation bulb by turning it clockwise. Rapidly inflate the cuff by squeezing the bulb until the manometer reads approximately 20-30 mmHg above the patient's usual systolic pressure, or 180-200 mmHg if unknown.
4. Deflation and Reading:
   • Abra lentamente a válvula de liberación de aire xirándoa en sentido antihorario, permitindo que a presión diminúa a un ritmo de 2-3 mmHg por segundo.
   • While deflating, listen for Korotkoff sounds through the stethoscope placed over the brachial artery.
   • The point at which the first clear, tapping sound is heard is the Presión sistólica.
   • Continue deflating. The point at which the sounds disappear completely is the Presión diastólica.
5. Resultados do rexistro: Note both systolic and diastolic readings.

2. Colocación: Place the active side of the chestpiece firmly on the patient's skin over the area where sounds are to be auscultated (e.g., brachial artery for blood pressure, heart, lungs).
3. Escoitar: Listen carefully for the desired sounds. Adjust pressure on the chestpiece as needed.

6. Mantemento e coidados

• Limpeza:
  • Wipe the manometer, cuff, and stethoscope with a soft cloth dampened with a mild disinfectant solution (e.g., 70% isopropyl alcohol).
