Measuring Blood Pressure - Beurer BM 44 Gebrauchsanweisung

Operation with the mains part
You can also operate this device with a mains part.
When doing so, there must not be any batteries in the bat-
tery compartment. The mains part can be obtained from
specialist retailers or from the service address using order
number 071.19.
• To prevent possible damage to the device, the blood
pressure monitor must only be used with the mains part
described here.
• Insert the mains part into the connection provided for this
purpose on the right-hand side of the blood pressure mo-
nitor. The mains part must only be connected to the mains
voltage that is specified on the type plate.
• Then insert the mains plug of the mains part into the
mains socket.
• After using the blood pressure monitor, unplug the mains
part from the mains socket first and then disconnect it
from the blood pressure monitor. As soon as you unplug
the mains part, the blood pressure monitor loses the date
and time setting but the saved measurements are retai-
ned.

5. Measuring blood pressure

Please ensure the device is at room temperature before
measuring.
Positioning cuff
Fit the cuff round your bare left
upper arm. Blood circulation in the
arm should not be restricted by
tight clothing or other objects.
The cuff should be placed on the
upper arm so that the lower edge is
2 to 3 cm above the bend of the
elbow and above the artery. The
tube should be in line with 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
Velcro 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.
