the arm is not restricted by any clothes etc. that are
too tight. Position the cuff on the inside of your wrist.
• Fasten the cuff with the Velcro fastening so that the
upper edge of the monitor is positioned approx. 1 cm
below the ball of your thumb.
• The cuff has to be fitted tightly around the wristbut
should not constrict it.

the original cuff.

• You can perform the measurement either sitting or
lying down. It is essential to support your arm and
have it at an angle. Always make sure that the cuff is
level with your heart. Otherwise there may be serious
divergences. Relax your arm and the palms of your
hands.
• In order not to distort the result, it is important to keep
still during the measurement and not talk.

the position in which you want to carry out the mea-
