remove the latex rubber bladder. Allow the cuff to dry thoroughly after washing, and
then reinsert the rubber bladder. The cuff can be disinfected by means of
conventional autoclaving, gas, or radiation disinfection in hot air ovens, or sterilized
by immersion in decontamination solutions. Remember to remove the rubber
bladder if you use this method
