5. Measuring blood pressure

Please ensure the unit is at room temperature before measuring.
Attach the cuff
Place the cuff on to the bare left upper arm.
The circulation of the arm must not be hin-
dered 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 tighten the free end of the cuff, but make
sure that it is not too tight around the arm and
close the Velcro fastener. The cuff should be
fastened so that two fingers fit under the cuff.
Now insert the cuff line into the connection for
the cuff connector.
Caution: 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 ob-
tained from specialist retailers or from the service address using order
number 163.387.
Adopt the correct posture
• Rest for approx. 5 minutes before each measure-
ment. Otherwise 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.
