Cuff Selection and Connection
Warning
• Treat a cuff used on a patient with an infection as medical waste, or
suf¿ ciently sterilize the cuff before reuse.
Caution
• Do not use the cuff if it is damaged or has holes.
• Use the appropriate cuff size to ensure correct measurements. If too
large a cuff is used, the measured blood pressure value tends to be
lower than the actual blood pressure. If too small a cuff is used, the
measured blood pressure value tends to be higher.
• Only an OMRON GS CUFF can be used with this monitor. The use of
any other cuff may result in incorrect measurement.
Note:
• Make sure that the connectors are tightly connected.
Selecting the cuff

size that is appropriate for the circumference.
It is important to use the correct sized cuff for a patient in order to get
