7.1.1 Cuff Maintenance and Cleaning
WARNING
■ Do not squeeze the rubber tube on the cuff.
■ Do not allow liquid to enter the connector socket at the front of the monitor.
■ Do not wipe the inner part of the connector socket when cleaning the monitor.
■ When the reusable cuff is not connected with the monitor, or being cleaned, always
place the cover on the rubber tube to avoid liquid permeation.
Reusable Blood Pressure Cuff
The cuff can be sterilized by means of conventional autoclaving, gas, or radiation sterilization in
hot air ovens or disinfected by immersion in decontamination solutions, but remember to remove
the rubber bag if you use this method. The cuff should not be dry-cleaned.
The cuff can also be machine-washed or hand-washed, the latter method may prolong the service
life of the cuff. Before washing, remove the latex rubber bag, and for machine-washing, close the
Velcro fastening. Allow the cuff to dry thoroughly after washing. Then reinsert the rubber bag.
