Caution
(A)
· If a doctor has indicated that the patient has hemorrhagic diathesis or hypercoagulability, check
the condition of the arm after measurement.
· Make sure the connections are tight. An air leak will prevent correct measurement.
· 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.
· Do not sterilize by autoclave, ultraviolet irradiation, radiation, gas sterilization (EOG,
formaldehyde gas, high concentration ozone, etc.). In addition do not clean or sterilize using a
method other than that indicated in “Cleaning and Storage” directions, and do not wash. The cuff
may become deformed and correct measurement will not be possible.
· Do not store in a location where corrosive gas is generated. The cuff may become deformed and
correct measurement will not be possible.
· Do not allow any liquids inside the cuff. If a liquid gets in the cuff, dry the inside well. If used
with even a slight amount of liquid in the cuff, the liquid may enter the monitor to which the cuff
is connected and cause the monitor to malfunction.
· Do not inflate the cuff when it is not wrapped on the upper arm. This may damage the cuff.
· Do not leave in direct sunlight or ultraviolet light. This may damage the cuff and cause it to
deteriorate.
· The cuff is a consumable product. If it becomes damaged, replace it. Correct measurement may
not be possible with a damaged cuff.

How to Use the Cuff
1. Select the cuff size that is appropriate for the circumference.
· There are two cuff tube lengths.
3.
- 175 mm / 7 inches (HXA-GCUFF-**LA)
- 1,000 mm / 39 inches (HXA-GCUFF-**LB)
For cuff tube lengths that can be connected, see the manual for the blood pressure monitor.
2. Connect the cuff to the blood pressure monitor or cuff hose, and lock clockwise.
· If a cuff hose is used, use an OMRON specified hose.
3-1. Make sure the cuff tube is not bent.
· The cuff tube should be on the peripheral side.
3-2. Wrap the cuff so that the

“
range.
· If outside the range, there will be greater error in the blood pressure value. In this case, use
the appropriate cuff size.
· Attach the cuff so that the bottom edge is 1 - 2 cm (1/2 - 1 inch) from the inner side of the
elbow joint.
· The cuff should be wrapped to a tightness that roughly allows two fingers to be inserted
under the cuff.
4. During measurement, keep the brachial artery on which the cuff is wrapped at the same height
as the right atrium of the heart.
Cleaning and Storage
· Wipe clean on the surface of the cuff with a cloth moistened with a 70 v/v% dilution of isopropyl
alcohol, or a 80 v/v% or less dilution of disinfection ethanol (ethyl alcohol).
· For disposal, have a company that specializes in medical waste disposal dispose of the cuff.
