5. Measuring blood pressure

Please ensure the device is at room temperature before meas-
uring. The measurement can be performed on the left or right
arm.
Positioning cuff
Fit the cuff round your bare 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 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.
This cuff is suitable for you if the
index mark ( ) is within the OK
range after fitting the cuff on the
upper arm.
If the measurement is performed on the right upper arm,
the line should be located on the inside of your elbow. En-
sure that your arm is not pressing on the line.
Blood pressure may vary between the right and left arm, which
may mean that the measured blood pressure values are differ-
ent. Always perform the measurement on the same arm.
If the values between the two arms are significantly different,
please consult your doctor to determine which arm should be
used for the measurement
Important: The instrument should only be operated with the
original cuff. The cuff is suitable for an arm circumference of
22 to 35 cm.
A larger cuff for upper arm circumferences from 30 to 42 cm is
available from retailers or the service address under order no.
