4. Oppsett
4.1 Sphygmomanometer Setup
- Remove all components from the carrying case.
- Ensure the inflation bladder tube is securely connected to the manometer.
- Ensure the inflation bulb is securely connected to the inflation bladder.
- Verify that the air release valve on the inflation bulb is fully closed by turning it clockwise.
4.2 Stethoscope Setup
- Gently pull the eartips outwards and insert them into your ears, ensuring they point forward, towards the bridge of your nose. This aligns the eartubes with your ear canals for optimal sound transmission.
- Confirm the diaphragm or bell is properly attached and the rotating valve is set to the desired side (diaphragm or bell) for auscultation.
5. Bruksanvisning
5.1 Measuring Blood Pressure with Sphygmomanometer
- Pasientforberedelse: Ensure the patient is relaxed, seated comfortably with their arm supported at heart level. Avoid talking during the measurement.
- Mansjettplassering:
- Slide the cuff onto the bare upper arm, approximately 1 inch (2-3 cm) above the elbow joint.
- Align the artery marker on the cuff with the brachial artery (typically on the inside of the arm).
- Wrap the cuff snugly around the arm, ensuring it is not too tight or too loose. Utilize the Adcuff calibrated nylon cuff with its proprietary size guide marking system to ensure correct fit for arm circumferences between 23 cm and 40 cm.
- Inflasjon: Close the air release valve on the inflation bulb by turning it clockwise. Rapidly inflate the cuff by squeezing the bulb until the manometer reads approximately 20-30 mmHg above the patient's usual systolic pressure, or 180-200 mmHg if unknown.
- Deflation and Reading:
- Slowly open the air release valve by turning it counter-clockwise, allowing the pressure to drop at a rate of 2-3 mmHg per second.
- While deflating, listen for Korotkoff sounds through the stethoscope placed over the brachial artery.
- The point at which the first clear, tapping sound is heard is the Systolisk trykk.
- Continue deflating. The point at which the sounds disappear completely is the Diastolisk trykk.
- Rekordresultater: Note both systolic and diastolic readings.

5.2 Using the Sprague Rappaport Stethoscope
- Select Chestpiece Side: The Sprague Rappaport stethoscope features a dual-head chestpiece. Rotate the stem to select either the diaphragm (larger side, for high-frequency sounds) or the bell (smaller side, for low-frequency sounds). A click indicates the active side.
- Plassering: Place the active side of the chestpiece firmly on the patient's skin over the area where sounds are to be auscultated (e.g., brachial artery for blood pressure, heart, lungs).
- Lytte: Listen carefully for the desired sounds. Adjust pressure on the chestpiece as needed.
6. Vedlikehold og stell
- Rengjøring:
- Wipe the manometer, cuff, and stethoscope with a soft cloth dampened with a mild disinfectant solution (e.g., 70% isopropyl alcohol).
- Do not immerse any part of the device in liquid.
- Sørg for at alle komponenter er helt tørre før lagring.
- Lagring: Store the kit in its included XL color-matched, dual-pocket carrying case (9 inches x 5 inches x 2 inches) in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Undersøkelse: Regularly inspect the tubing for cracks, the cuff for wear, and the manometer for proper calibration.
7. Feilsøking
| Problem | Mulig årsak | Løsning |
|---|---|---|
| Inaccurate blood pressure readings. | Incorrect cuff size or placement; air leak in system; uncalibrated manometer; patient movement/talking. | Ensure correct cuff size (23-40 cm for Size 11) and proper placement. Check all connections for leaks. Have manometer calibrated by a professional if suspected. Ensure patient is still and quiet. |
| Cuff does not inflate or deflates too quickly. | Air release valve open; loose connections; leak in bladder or tubing. | Close the air release valve. Check all tubing connections. Inspect bladder and tubing for punctures or cracks. Replace faulty components if necessary. |
| No sound or faint sound from stethoscope. | Eartips not properly oriented; chestpiece not active; tubing obstruction; diaphragm/bell loose. | Ensure eartips point forward into ear canals. Rotate chestpiece stem to activate desired side. Check tubing for kinks or blockages. Ensure diaphragm/bell is securely attached. |
