Operating the device
• Clear the wrist from all clothing or watches/jewellery since
this may disturb the blood flow in the arm as it may impair
the blood pressure at the place of measurement.
• Slide the device onto the centre of the
inside of the forearm, directly on the
wrist. The palm of your hand should be
facing upwards. The distance between
the wrist and the upper edge of the cuff
should be 5–10 mm.
• Fasten the cuff using the hook and loop fastening.
The shape of the cuff is optimized to sit very tightly in order to
avoid possible measurement errors.

8. Body position during the measurement

The measurements should be performed while seated. In special
cases, measurements in a lying position are also possible.
Measurements while seated
Sit at a dining table, lean your back against
the backrest of the chair and bend your arm
so that your arm is exactly at heart level.
Place your feet on the ground and do not
cross your legs.
Measurements while lying down
Lay on your back, place the device on your
wrist and at the height of your heart, e.g. by
supporting it with a pillow. To relax before
the measurement, take 2-3 deep breaths.
