3. התקנה

Follow these steps to prepare your sphygmomanometer for use:

1. לִפְרוֹק: הוציאו בזהירות את כל הרכיבים ממארז הנשיאה.
2. Connect Cuff and Manometer: ודא שצינור האוויר מהשרוול מחובר היטב למד לחץ האוויר.
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. הוראות הפעלה

למדידת לחץ דם מדויקת, יש לפעול לפי ההנחיות הבאות:

1. מיקום החולה: 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. מיקום השרוול: 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. אִינפלַצִיָה: 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. דפלציה וקריאה: 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. קריאות שיא: 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. תחזוקה

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your device:

• ניקוי: Wipe the cuff and manometer with a soft, damp מטלית. אין להשתמש בחומרי ניקוי שוחקים או לטבול אף חלק של המכשיר במים.

• כִּיוּל: 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. פתרון תקלות

אם נתקלת בבעיות במכשיר שלך, עיין בבעיות הנפוצות ובפתרונות הבאים:

• 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.
• קריאות לא מדויקות:
  • Verify correct cuff size and placement on the arm.
  • Ensure the patient is relaxed and positioned correctly.
  • Check for proper deflation rate (2-3 mmHg per second).
  • Consider professional calibration if readings consistently seem incorrect.
• דליפת אוויר:
  • הדקו את כל החיבורים.
  • Inspect the inflation bulb, air tubes, and cuff bladder for cracks or holes.
