3. CONNECTING THE CUFF TO THE MONITOR

Insert the cuff tubing connector into the socket in the left side

of the monitor. Make certain that the connector is completely

inserted to avoid air leakage during blood pressure

measurements.

Avoid compression or restriction of the connection tubing during measurement, as

this may cause an inflation error or harmful injury due to continuous cuff pressure.
