5. Measuring blood pressure

Please ensure the unit is at room temperature before measuring.
The measurement can be performed on the left or right arm.
Attaching the cuff
Place the cuff on to the bare left upper
arm. The circulation of the arm must
not be hindered by tight clothing or
similar.
The cuff must be placed on the upper
arm so that the bottom edge is
positioned 2 – 3 cm above the elbow
and over the artery. The line points to
the centre of the palm.
Now place the free end of the cuff
snugly, but not too tightly, around the
arm, and fix it with the hook and loop
fastener. The cuff should be fitted tight
enough to allow just two fingers to fit

®
beneath the cuff. Insert the cuff tubing
into the socket for the cuff attachment.
Now insert the cuff line into the
sym-
®
connection for the cuff connector.
If the measurement is performed on the right upper arm,
the line should be located on the inside of
your elbow. Ensure that your arm is
not pressing on the line.
Blood pressure may vary between the right and left arm, which
may mean that the measured blood pressure values are differ-
ent. Always perform the measurement on the same arm.
If the values between the two arms are significantly different,
please consult your doctor to determine which arm should be
used for the measurement.
Important: The unit may only be operated with the original cuff.
The cuff is suitable for an arm circumference of 22 to 36 cm.
A larger cuff for upper-arm circumferences of 35 to 44 cm can
be obtained from specialist retailers or from the service ad-
dress using order number 163.387.
