4. Setup and Cuff Placement
4.1 Устаноўка батарэі
The CONTEC ABPM50 is powered by batteries. Open the battery compartment, typically located on the back or side of the device, and insert the required batteries, ensuring correct polarity. Close the compartment securely.
4.2 Connecting the Cuff and Tube
Connect the BP extending tube to the monitor unit's air tube connector. Then, connect the other end of the extending tube to the adult cuff's air tube connector. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent air leakage during measurement.
4.3 Правільнае размяшчэнне манжэты
Accurate blood pressure readings depend significantly on correct cuff placement. The cuff should be placed on the upper arm, directly on the skin, approximately 1-2 cm above the elbow joint. The artery mark on the cuff should align with the brachial artery on the inside of your arm.

Figure 4.1: Illustration of proper cuff placement on the upper arm, with the monitor unit connected via the extending tube. The cuff should be at the same level as the patient's heart for accurate readings.
Important Note on Cuff Level: The cuff should be placed at the same level as the patient's heart. If the cuff is placed higher or lower than the heart level, the measurement results may need adjustment:
- If the cuff is placed higher than the heart level, add 0.75 mmHg (0.10 kPa) for each inch of difference.
- If it is placed lower than the heart level, subtract 0.75 mmHg (0.10 kPa) for each inch of difference.
