General Usage

Prior to each use, make sure all parts are securely fastened and properly connected. Always use with stethoscope for accurate and complete blood pressure measurement (Stethoscope included with MDF 808 only).

Cuff Placement – Place cuff midway between shoulder and elbow with a gap of 2 – 3 cm above the elbow. Located the brachial artery pulse with first two fingers and place cuff where the arrow of the arterial indicator is directly over the brachial artery. The cuff should be at the same height level as the heart.

Cuff Inflation – Screw valve clockwise to shut air release valve. Inflate cuff to 20-30 mm above expected systolic pressure.

Stethoscope Placement - Place the eartips of stethoscope into ears. The headset should be worn with the eartips pointed away from you if it is held in front of you. Place the chestpiece of the stethoscope firmly and directly over brachial artery below the cuff. If the pulse is heard prior to releasing the valve, inflate the cuff another 20 mmHg or until no pulse is heard.

Measurement - Screw valve counter-clockwise to release valve at a rate of 2-3 mmHg per second. The systolic pressure is the gauge reading at the first audible pulse. Continue with air release. The diastolic pressure is the gauge reading at the last audible pulse.

General Cleaning & Care: Clean soiled parts of sphygmomanometer thoroughly before each use. All parts of the sphygmomanometer and stethoscope can be cleaned with a clean cotton cloth and isopropyl alcohol solution or water with mild detergent. Do not let any liquid enter the inside of sphygmomanometer. Cuff cover can be hand washed with warm water and mild detergent. Air dry, do not machine dry.

• Never inflate over 300mm Hg

• Keep sharp objects away from cuff

• Never dissemble the sphygmomanometer

• Avoid impact or shock to the sphygmomanometer

• Always deflate cuff completely after measurement and prior to storage

• Avoid prolong exposure to excessive heat, cold, solvents, moisture and oils

• Calibrated gauge will return the pointer to rest inside of the zero box at no pressure

• If pointer rests outside of the zero box, return to an authorized MDF dealer for calibration

• Frequently check and remove dust from screen filter of intake valve at end of inflation bulb

Technical Specification:

Range: 0-300 mmHg

Accuracy: +/- 3 mmHg

Our commitment to high-quality instruments is backed by our two-year performance guarantee.
