Selecting the NIBP Cuff
To take accurate measurements, you must use the proper sized cuff: the cuff’s bladder length
should be at least 80 percent of the limb circumference, while the cuff width should be equal to
40 percent of the limb circumference.
Caution
Use only hoses and cuffs that are approved by ZOLL Medical Corporation. See Appendix B,
Accessories
, for a listing of the approved hoses and cuffs. Use the following guidelines when
selecting the appropriate hose and cuff:
Caution
Selection of the correct cuff is critical to the accuracy of NIBP measurements. Using a cuff that
is too small results in measurements higher than the patient’s actual blood pressure. Using a cuff
that is too large results in measurements lower than the patient’s actual blood pressure.
