Figure 12-5 Replacing the Rubber Bladder
To replace the rubber bladder in the cuff:
1. Place the bladder on top of the cuff so the rubber tubes line up with the large opening on the
long side of the cuff.
2. Roll the bladder lengthwise and insert it into the opening on the long side of the cuff.
3. Hold the tubes and the cuff and shake the complete cuff until the bladder is in position.
4. Thread the rubber tubes from inside the cuff, and out through the small hole under the
internal flap.
CAUTION
z Some disinfectants may cause skin irritation. Please rinse cuff thoroughly with
water to remove any residual disinfectants. Using dark colored disinfectants
may stain the cuffs. Test a single cuff to ensure that no damage will occur.
