Correct Posture; Select Memory - Beurer BM 16 Gebrauchsanleitung

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 fas-
tener. 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.
Important: The instrument should only be operated with the
original cuff. The cuff is suitable for an arm circumference of 24
to 36 cm. A larger cuff for upper arm circumferences from 34
to 46 cm is available from retailers or the service address under
order no. 162.383.

Correct posture

• Rest for approx. 5 minutes before each measurement. Other-
wise 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.
• In order not to distort the result, it is important to keep still
during the measurement and not talk.

Measuring blood pressure
• Put on the cuff as described previously and assume the
position in which you want to carry out the measurement.
• Press the "User-Switching key"
zone, and press the " " key 2x to start measurement in
the chosen memory zone. After checking the display with
all digits lighting up, the monitor will automatically inflate.
Following the self-test, during which all display elements
briefly appear, the measurement begins. During inflation the
device already determines measured values used to estimate
the required inflation pressure. If this pressure is insufficient,
the device automatically inflates by another 40 mmHg (Real
Fuzzy Logic).
• Then the pressure in the cuff is slowly released and the pulse
is measured.
• When the measurement has been completed, the remaining
air pressure is released very quickly. The pulse, the systolic
and the diastolic blood pressure are displayed.
