Introduction Blood pressure measurements determined with this device are equivalent to those obtained by a trained observer using the auscultatory method, within the limits prescribed by the American National Standards Institute, ANSI/AAMI/ISO 81060-1: 2007, Manual, Electronic, or Automated Sphygmomanometers. Your new ADC® e-sphygTM gauge provides you with all of the functionality of a traditional aneroid gauge, with none of the problems associated with these mechanical devices.
Caution: Your digital aneroid is not field serviceable. Caution: You should not use any tool to open the device nor should you attempt to adjust anything inside the device. Caution: To stop the operation of your digital aneroid at any time, open the air release valve as you would on any mechanical blood pressure instrument, and the air in the cuff will be rapidly exhausted. Caution: Your digital aneroid is designed for normal blood pressure measurement at the upper arm or thigh on healthy skin.
Assembly Your ADC DIAGNOSTIXTM e-sphygTM digital aneroid sphygmomanometer consists of a digital manometer (gauge), complete inflation system (ADCUFFTM calibrated nylon cuff, latex-free inflation bladder, squeeze bulb, and the ADFLOWTM valve), a zippered carrying case, and operating instructions.
Display Explanations 1. 1. Systolic Assist Memory Indicator 2. Heartbeat Mark 2. 3. Diastolic Pressure 4. 4. Weak Battery Mark 5. Deflation Rate (During measurement) 5. 3. Installing and Replacing Batteries 1. Rotate the clip 90°. 2. Loosen the screw on the battery cover using a coin or screwdriver. 3. Install the batteries with the polarities facing in the correct direction. 4. Replace the battery cover and tighten the screw. 5. Rotate the clip back.
Assembling your Sphygmomanometer Your inflation system is pre-assembled and ready for use. You will need to simply connect your digital gauge to the complete inflation system by inserting the twist lock connector (pre-assembled on a bladder tube) into the air port at the bottom of the digital gauge, twist to lock. Measurement Procedure (Auscultatory Method) 1. Patient Position: The patient should sit or lie comfortably. The arm should be fully supported on a flat surface at heart level.
Caution: Excessive deflation rates (in excess of 7mmHg) will lead to inaccurate measurement and will make it difficult to pinpoint the readings on the display. 7. Measurement: Record the onset of Korotkoff sounds as the systolic pressure, and the disappearance of these sounds as diastolic pressure. (Some healthcare professionals recommend recording diastolic 1 and diastolic 2. Diastolic 1 occurs at phase 4). After measurement is completed, open valve fully to release any remaining air in the cuff.
Calibration of Digital Gauge Gauge accuracy can be checked visually whenever it is switched on. If the unit is used more than 15,000 times, a calibration reminder message (CAL) will appear on the digital display. Any digital gauge that displays this message should be returned for re-calibration to ADC’s Service Department. Only ADC or an authorized service technician is qualified to perform this calibration service. Do not attempt to recalibrate the gauge yourself.
ERROR DISPLAYS and TROUBLESHOOTING Error Message: Description: Solution: The cuff was deflated too rapidly. Keep the deflation rate at about 2-3 mmHg per second. Err Heartbeat rate detection error. EE A Pressure of over 15mmHg remaining for more than 3 minutes is detected. Press the “ ” button to switch the unit off, or the unit will automatically switch off after 60 seconds. E3 Data Error. Remove and reinsert the batteries.
Care and Maintenance Storage: After measurement, wrap cuff around gauge and bulb and store in zippered carrying case. Cleaning: Digital Manometer: Your ADC® DIAGNOSTIXTM brand e-sphygTM gauge requires minimal care and maintenance. The manometer may be cleaned with a slightly dampened soft cloth, but should not be dismantled under any circumstances. Cuff: Sponge with a damp cloth or alcohol pad. If necessary, it can be washed in cool water with mild soap or detergent-disinfectant.
