USER MANUAL Gamma G7 HEINE
GAMMA G5, G7, XXL LF
Please read and follow these instructions for use of and keep them for future reference.
Intended Use
The HEINE GAMMA® sphygmomanometers are intended for use for non-invasive, non-automated blood pressure measurements by medical professionals or trained personnel. The devices are non-sterile, intended for multiple use and may only come into contact with intact skin. The HEINE GAMMA® blood pressure cuffs are available in various sizes ranging from small infants to large adults.
For U.S. only:
Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a Physician or Practitioner!
Warnings and Safety Information
CAUTION! Indicates potential hazardous situations. Ignoring the corresponding instructions may lead to dangerous situations of mild to moderate extent. (Background color yellow; foreground color black).
NOTE! Indicates valuable advice in terms of installation, operation, maintenance or repair. Notes are important, but not related to hazardous situations.
Setting up
Appropriate cuff size
To prevent measurement errors, the correct cuff size must be selected. To do this, measure the circumference of the patient's arm and select the appropriate HEINE cuff. The relevant arm circumference is indicated on
the cuff as follows: (Example) (See also under "Accessories")
Changing the cuff
To attach the cuff, attach the cuff tube to the nozzle on the measuring device. To change the cuff, detach the tube from the nozzle by turning slightly.
Disassembly of the cuff
The cuff consists of a sleeve and an inflatable bladder. For hygienic reprocessing, the inflatable bladder can be taken out of the sleeve. To do this, first remove the bellows from the air tube and for the XXL size, also from the measuring unit. After this, withdraw the inflatable bladder sideways out of the sleeve:
When reassembling, take note that you first need to thread in the tube / tubes (A) and then insert the inflatable bladder with the long side first into the sleeve (B).

Operation
Fitting the cuff
Fit the cuff so that the lower edge is about 2-3 cm above the elbow (or about 5 cm above the knee). Locate the special mark over the artery. The white index mark should be located in the marked index area.
Do not take your blood pressure for more than 2 minutes!
Wait for at least 2 minutes before taking a repeat measurement!
Measurements
Let the patient relax for approx. 5 min. before you start the measurement. During the measurement, the patient should not talk if possible and should sit relaxed without crossing their legs. The back and arm should be supported.
The indicator on the scale should be at zero. To prevent measurement errors, the measured value should be read vertically to the measuring scale.
Pump the cuff approximately 30mmHg above the expected systolic pressure. The artery is now compressed and no flow sounds should be heard.
The pulse-synchronous sounds which can be heard when the pressure is slowly released in the cuff are called Korotkoff sounds.
Use the K5 sound for measurements in adults and the K4 sound for children aged 3-12 years.
If Korotkoff sounds can be heard in adults or pregnant patients with a vented cuff, use the K4 sound as well for the measurement.
Open the valve to release the pressure. The pressure should go down at a speed of 2-3 mmHg per second. When sounds can be heard again, blood is flowing through the vessel again in the systole of the heart (Systolic / top pressure). Let the pressure slowly go down until the sound disappears (Diastolic / bottom pressure). Now there is no compression of the vessel and blood flows through again free from turbulence and sounds. At the end of the measurement, open the valve fully to quickly release the air from the cuff.
GAMMA G5, G7, XXL LF
Close the air release valve by turning to the right. Pump the cuff by pressing the bulb and release the air from it by opening the valve (3).
GAMMA GP
Press the button to close the valve completely (1). Pump the cuff by pressing the bulb and release the air from it by opening the valve. (1 + 2)
Please note: It is not possible to pump up the cuff with the button in position (2).
Changing the position of the spoon (GAMMA G5, G7, GP)
The spoon is normally set for right-handed use. If you wish to inflate the cuff with the left hand, the spoon can be re-positioned for left-handed use:
- Remove the ball from the instrument with a twisting and pulling motion.
- Loosen the two screws near the air intake but do not screw them out completely.
Note: A special tool is supplied with GAMMA G7 for this purpose.
- If necessary, moisten the air intake to ease fitting.
- Rotate the base of the spoon through 180^ and re-tighten the screws.
- Grip the neck of the ball and push it back onto the air intake with a twisting motion.
