Measuring Blood Pressure - Beurer BM 19 Gebrauchsanleitung

5. Measuring blood pressure

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 fas-
tener. 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.
Important: The instrument should only be operated with the
original cuff. The cuff is suitable for an arm circumference of
23 to 33 cm.
Correct posture
• Rest for approx. 5 minutes before each measurement. Other-
wise there may be divergences.
• You can perform the measurement either sitting or lying
down. Always make sure that the cuff is on a level with your
heart.
• To carry out a blood pressure measurement, make sure you
are sitting comfortably with your arms and back leaning on
something. Do not cross your legs. Place your feet flat on the
ground.
• In order not to distort the result, it is important to keep still
during the measurement and not talk.
