2. Komponen Produk

The GIMA London Aneroid Sphygmomanometer consists of the following main components:

• manometer: A 55 mm diameter dial with vivid colors for easy reading, protected by a plastic ring. It features a high-quality precision mechanism.
• manset: A calibrated nylon cuff with a Velcro closure, designed for adult use.
• Bladder: A single-tube TPU bladder integrated within the cuff.
• Inflation Bulb: An integrated PVC bulb for inflating the cuff, designed to be latex-free.
• Air Release Valve: A screw-type valve for controlled deflation.
• Sarung pembawa: An elegant matching nylon case for storage and transport.

3. Persediaan

Follow these steps to prepare your sphygmomanometer for use:

1. Bongkar: Keluarkan semua komponen dengan berhati-hati dari beg pembawa.
2. Connect Cuff and Manometer: Ensure the air tube from the cuff is securely connected to the manometer.
3. Connect Bulb: Attach the inflation bulb to the air tube leading to the cuff. The connections should be snug to prevent air leakage.

4. Arahan Operasi

For accurate blood pressure measurement, follow these guidelines:

1. Kedudukan Pesakit: The measurement should be performed under conditions of both physical and mental relaxation. The patient should be in a sitting or supine position. Where possible, take measurements at the same time of day, away from meal times.
2. Peletakan Cuff: Wrap the cuff firmly around the upper arm, approximately 2-3 cm above the elbow joint, ensuring the artery mark on the cuff aligns with the brachial artery. The cuff should be snug but not overly tight.
3. Inflasi: Close the air release valve by turning it clockwise. Rapidly inflate the cuff by squeezing the inflation bulb until the manometer reads approximately 20-30 mmHg above the expected systolic pressure.
4. 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. Listen for Korotkoff sounds with a stethoscope (not included). The first sound heard indicates systolic pressure, and the disappearance of sounds indicates diastolic pressure.
5. Bacaan Rekod: Note down the systolic and diastolic pressure readings.

Image 4.2: The 55 mm diameter dial features vivid, eye-catching colors for easy reading.

Image 4.3: A special outer ring protects the manometer from shocks and the glass from scratches.

Image 4.4: Recommended use involves performing measurements under conditions of physical and mental relaxation, in a sitting or supine position, ideally at the same time each day and away from meal times.

5. Penyelenggaraan

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your device:

• Pembersihan: Wipe the cuff and manometer with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse any part of the device in water.
• Storan: Store the sphygmomanometer in its protective nylon case when not in use. Keep it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, dust, and extreme temperatures.
• Penentukuran: Aneroid sphygmomanometers should be professionally calibrated periodically (e.g., every 1-2 years) to ensure continued accuracy. Consult a qualified technician for calibration services.

6. Penyelesaian masalah

Jika anda menghadapi masalah dengan peranti anda, rujuk masalah dan penyelesaian biasa berikut:

• Cuff not inflating:
  • Ensure all connections (cuff to manometer, bulb to cuff) are secure.
  • Check that the air release valve is fully closed (turned clockwise).
  • Inspect the cuff and bladder for any punctures or leaks.
• Bacaan tidak tepat:
  • Verify correct cuff size and placement on the arm.
  • Ensure the patient is relaxed and positioned correctly.
  • Periksa kadar deflasi yang betul (2-3 mmHg sesaat).
  • Consider professional calibration if readings consistently seem incorrect.
• Kebocoran udara:
  • Ketatkan semua sambungan.
  • Inspect the inflation bulb, air tubes, and cuff bladder for cracks or holes.
  • Ensure the air release valve is fully closed.

If problems persist, contact GIMA customer support or a qualified service technician.
