Placing The Cuff; Blood Pressure Measurement - Riester ri-vital Instrucciones De Uso

8.7 Oral, rectal and axillary measurement:
A) If a „D" appears on the main screen in the temperature display area, this means that
the device has been switched to the direct mode (the slow mode) for this
temperature measurement.
The predictive thermometer normally works in the predicting mode in order to
deliver fast and accurate temperature measurements. However, if no measuring
point is recognised or the temperature does not stabilise, the thermometer
automatically switches to the direct mode and then works as a temperature monitor
The predictive thermometer also switches automatically into the direct mode if the
ambient temperature is over 35 °C (95 °F).
B) After inserting the thermometer probe in the slide compartment, the measured
temperature is shown on the main screen until the thermometer probe is removed
again or the

9.1 Placing the cuff

Slide the cuff over the left upper arm so that the tube is pointing in the direction of the
forearm.
Make sure that the underside of the cuff is situated about 2 to 3 cm higher than the
elbow and the rubber tube is sticking out from the cuff on the inside of the arm. The
marking must be directly over the artery that runs on the inside of the arm.
The cuff must be placed at the height of the right atrium. Take care that the patient is
sitting comfortably, not having his legs crossed, his feet flat on the floor, his back and
arms must be supported by a suitable chair. The position of the operator must be in
the immediate vicinity of the patient, the ME device with the control panel and the cuff.
Should an unexpected measured value occur, the operator can act immediately, i.e. he
should check the correct position of the cuff, the cuff hose and the setting of the ME
device and, if necessary, start a new measurement.
Details of the environmental and operational factors that may affect the performance
of the ME device and / or the blood pressure measurement are e.g. (arteriosclerosis),
low blood flow, diabetes, age, pregnancy, preeclampsia (pregnancy hypertension),
renal insufficiency, patient movement, tremors, chills). Since this ME device is used
exclusively in hospitals and medical practices, these possible causes are known to
trained personnel, doctors and operators.
