Thanks to the ongoing cardiac adventure, I now have my own blood pressure machine. Just this morning, I tried it out. Audrey needed to help me with the cuff. Once I got it on and pressed the button...bzzz...ERROR - CUFF. So I put on the cuff again and tried it. Bzzz - ERROR-CUFF. We followed the instructions and re-applied the cuff.. Bzz-ERROR-CUFF. It took a few more tries before we realized that the cuff had to go on differently. That was not clear from the instructions.
When two people with very high IQs can’t figure out a simple piece of medical equipment, well, I wonder what happens for average folks. And who was the dingbat who okayed the half-assed instruction sheets?
