WARNINGS & PRECAUTIONS
Please read the following important points before using the FAST Sphyg:
WARNING: Do not leave the blood pressure cuff on the patient for more than 10 minutes when inated
above 10 mmHg. This may cause patient distress, disturb blood circulation, and contribute to the injury
of peripheral nerves.
WARNING: Do not apply the cuff to delicate or damaged skin. Check cuff site frequently for irritation.
WARNING: Do not apply the cuff to limbs used for IV infusion.
WARNING: If luer lock connectors are used in the construction of tubing, there is a possibility that they
might be inadvertently connected to intra-vascular uid systems, allowing air to be pumped into a blood
vessel. Immediately consult a physician if this occurs.
WARNING: Replacement of the lithium-ion battery by inadequately trained personnel could result in
personal injury.
WARNING: Cuffs should be placed snugly but not tight.
WARNING: Incremental ination beyond 270 mmHg is possible when using small cuffs.
WARNING: If modications are performed to this device, appropriate inspection and testing must be
conducted to ensure its continued safe use.
WARNING: Use only the Koven AC Charger provided. Other chargers may damage the battery.
PRECAUTION: Use the proper cuff size. Use of improper cuff sizes may result in erroneous readings.
PRECAUTION: The patient should remain still during measurement to avoid erroneous readings.
PRECAUTION: Do not submerge the FAST Sphyg in any liquid.
PRECAUTION: The FAST® Sphyg is designed for use with one tube systems.
PRECAUTION: Do not apply excessive pressure when connecting the tube connector into the port.
This could cause damage to the device.
PRECAUTION: Extreme altitudes may affect blood pressure readings. This device has been designed
for normal environmental conditions.
PRECAUTION: This product will maintain the safety and performance characteristics specied at
temperatures ranging from 32°F to 104°F (0°C to 40°C) at a relative humidity level of 15% to 85%. To
obtain the greatest accuracy, it is recommended that this device be used within a temperature range of
50°F (10°C) to 104°F (40°C) with a relative humidity of 15% to 85% (non-condensing).
PRECAUTION: Do not drop from a height of over 25 cm. Doing so may cause damage to the unit or
affect calibration.

OPERATION
1. Ask the patient to sit or lie comfortably with legs uncrossed. Make sure the arm is
level with the heart and that the arm and back are supported. The patient should
relax comfortably for ve (5) minutes before testing and should be instructed not to
talk or move during the measurement.
2. Wrap a properly sized pressure cuff, comfortably snug around the patient’s bare limb
or digit. Arm cuffs should be positioned with the middle of the cuff on the upper arm
at heart level.
3. Use extender tubing to connect the sphyg to the cuff. Insert the tubing connector
and twist clockwise to secure to the sphygmomanometer. When properly attached,
less than 1/16” of connector shaft will remain visible.
4. Apply a Doppler probe or stethoscope to the artery and listen for steady pulse
sounds.
5. Press the actuator button to begin cuff ination. There will be a slight delay before
ination begins. This allows the device to determine the proper cuff size. However,
there will be no delay if using a digit cuff.
Keep the actuator button depressed until the desired pressure is obtained. To avoid
parallax error, the operator should view the guage face in a direct line. The cuff
should be inated approximately 20 mmHg past the point where waveform motion
and/or sound ceases (K5). Release the button to stop cuff ination. Press the
actuator button again to continue ination.
6. Gradually deate the cuff at a rate of 2-3 mmHg per second by pressing down on the
trigger until sound and/or waveform motion returns.
7. The point where sounds and/or waveform motion returns is the systolic pressure.
Note the millimeters of mercury reading at the point where sounds and/or waveform
motion ceases. This is the diastolic pressure.
8. After measurement is complete, open the trigger valve fully to release any remaining
air in the cuff. Disconnect the tubing from the cuff by twisting the connector counter-
clockwise.
NOTE: For correct cuff sizing, refer to your cuff manufacturer’s guidelines.
NOTE: Before inating the cuff, be sure the trigger valve lock mechanism is
released.
NOTE: In children ages 3 - 12, inate the cuff until sound is mufed (K4). K5
should be used for pregnant female patients, unless sounds are audible when
the cuff is deated, in which case K4 should be used.
NOTE: Altering the pressure applied to the trigger valve during deation affects
the deation rate.
NOTE: For rapid deation, squeeze the trigger valve until it clicks and locks
into place.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
The FAST Sphyg can be wiped down using warm water, enzymatic cleaner, or alcohol
with a damp soft cloth after use. If an enzymatic cleaner is used, wipe down again using
warm water or alcohol with a damp soft cloth. Hospital approved alcohol based wipes
are an acceptable alternative to a damp soft cloth.
DO NOT DISMANTLE. Gauge accuracy can be checked
visually by verifying that the needle rests within the
printed oval (gure 1) when the unit is fully deated. If
the indicator needle rests outside of the calibration mark,
the sphygmomanometer is out of calibration, and must
be re-calibrated to within ±3 mmHg when compared to
a reference device that has been certied to national
or international measurement standards. Call Koven
Technology service if you have a sphyg in need or
calibration or for any calibration questions.
No sphygmomanometer that has the indicator needle
resting outside of this mark is acceptable for use.
