5. BLOOD PRESSURE MONITORING<br />
CUFF SELECTION AND APPLICATION<br />
The use of properly designed and sized cuffs is essential for the accurate measurement of blood<br />
pressure. SoftCheck® and Safe-Cuff TM single patient use cuffs or Tuff-Cuff® and UltraCheck®<br />
reusable cuffs are recommended for use with the <strong>CASMED</strong> <strong>740</strong> <strong>Monitor</strong>.<br />
NOTE:<br />
CAS recommends the use of its reusable, disposable and neonatal cuffs with the <strong>CASMED</strong> <strong>740</strong><br />
<strong>Monitor</strong>.<br />
CAS recommends the use of the inflation hose supplied with the monitor or a replacement from<br />
CAS.<br />
The widest cuff that can be placed around the upper arm or thigh should be used. A cuff that is<br />
too small for the arm will not supply sufficient pressure to the artery. This can cause an<br />
erroneously high blood pressure reading. Substitution of a cuff different from that supplied might<br />
result in a measurement error.<br />
NOTE:<br />
Overlapping the cuff will not affect the measurement results.<br />
Figure 2: Cuff Application<br />
As an example, the end of the Tuff-Cuff is marked with a white arrow. To insure that the proper<br />
cuff size has been selected, wrap the cuff around the patient’s extremity, the marker should fall<br />
between the white markings on the cuff.<br />
