1.3.4 Operation
All ACCUTORR models can he initiated to obtain NIBP measurements manually or by
automatically. timed intervals. The ACCUTORR 3 SAT and AGCUTORR 4 SAT can
also obtain 5402 measurements.
1.3.4.1 Manual Initiation of NIBP Measurements
1. Select a pressure cuff that is approximately 20% wider than the diameter of the limb
on which it is to be used.
A cuff that is too narrow for the limb will result în erroneousiy high readings. The correct size of the pressure
cuff for a given patient has, among other considerations, a direct bearing on the accuracy of the obtained
NIBP measurements. Base your selection of the cuff size on the limb circumference of the patient. The follow-
ing table indicates the available Datascope cuffs for use with the Datascope ACCUTORR. The design dimen-
sions of the cuffs and their intended uses are based on recommendations of the American Heart Association.

NOTE: Disposable culfs may be sterilized. Refer to Chapter 4 for sterilization instructions.
NOTE: Cuffs become more supple as they age and sometimes develop permanent folds that can leave .
temporary marks on the limb. Any cuffs that exhibit this effect should be replaced.
The pressure on the limb may not fall to zero between measurements if the cuff is wrapped too tightly.
Therefore, assure that the cuff is properly applied.
The skin is sometimes fragile (i.e., on pediatrics, geriatrics, etc.) In these cases, a longer timer interval
should be considered to decrease the number of cuff inflations over a period of time. In extreme cases, a
thin layer of soft roli or webril cotton padding may be applied to the limb in order to cushion the skin
when the cuffis inflated. This measure may affect NIBP performance and should be used with caution.
*When using the thigh cuff this product will not comply with AAM! accuracy standards.
**The limb circumferences of the Color Coded Cuffs adhere to the AHA guidelines for size.
