Figura 1: ADC Diagnostix 703 Palm Aneroid Sphygmomanometer. This image shows the complete device, including the gray manometer with a black dial, the black inflation bulb, and the orange infant-sized cuff with "ADCUFF Reusable BP Cuff Infant 7" printed on it.
3. Setup u Preparazzjoni
- Spezzjona l-Komponenti: Before each use, visually inspect the cuff, tubing, bulb, and manometer for any signs of damage, cracks, or leaks. Do not use the device if any component is damaged.
- Cuff Attachment: Ensure the inflation bladder is correctly inserted into the cuff sleeve. The tubing should be securely connected to the manometer.
- Pożizzjonament tal-Pazjent: Ensure the infant is calm and comfortably positioned. The arm chosen for measurement should be supported at heart level.
- Poġġiment tal-pulzieri: Wrap the infant cuff snugly around the infant's upper arm, ensuring the artery mark on the cuff aligns with the brachial artery. The cuff's Size Guide marking system helps prevent mis-cuffing; ensure the index line falls within the range indicated on the cuff.
4. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi
Segwi dawn il-passi għal kejl preċiż tal-pressjoni tad-demm:
- Agħlaq il-Valv tar-Rilaxx tal-Arja: Ensure the trigger-style air release valve is fully closed by rotating it clockwise.
- Infħaħ il-Maniċċa: Rapidly inflate the cuff by squeezing the bulb until the manometer reads approximately 20-30 mmHg above the expected systolic pressure, or until the radial pulse is no longer palpable.
- Deflate Cuff: Slowly open the air release valve by rotating it counter-clockwise, allowing the pressure to drop at a rate of 2-3 mmHg per second.
- Qari:
- Pressjoni Sistolika: Note the reading on the manometer when the first clear, tapping sound (Korotkoff sound) is heard.
- Pressjoni Dijastolika: Note the reading when the sounds disappear completely.
- Deflazzjoni Kompluta: Fully open the air release valve to completely deflate the cuff.
- Kejl Irrepeti: If a second measurement is required, wait at least 1-2 minutes before re-inflating the cuff to allow blood flow to normalize.
5. Manutenzjoni u Kura
- Tindif:
- Cuff: The nylon cuff can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Allow to air dry completely. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Manometer and Bulb: Wipe the manometer and bulb with a soft, damp cloth. Do not immerse in water or use harsh chemical cleaners.
- Ħażna: Store the sphygmomanometer in a clean, dry place at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Kalibrazzjoni: The precision-crafted manometer is designed for long-term accuracy. However, it is recommended to have the device checked for calibration periodically by qualified personnel, or if accuracy is suspected to be compromised.
