Measuring Blood Pressure - Beurer medical BM 20 Gebrauchsanweisung

• After using the blood pressure monitor, unplug the mains

mains part, the blood pressure monitor loses the date and

5. Measuring blood pressure

Please ensure the device is at room temperature before meas­
uring.
Fixing the cuff
Fit the cuff round your bare left upper
arm. Blood circulation in the arm
should not be restricted by tight cloth­
ing 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 hook and loop
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.
