Measuring Blood Pressure - Beurer BM 45 Gebrauchsanweisung

When doing so, there must not be any batteries in the battery
compartment. The mains part can be obtained from specialist
retailers or from the service address using order number 071.19.
• To prevent possible damage to the device, the blood pres-
sure monitor must only be used with the mains part de-
scribed here.
• Insert the mains part into the connection provided for this
purpose on the right-hand side of the blood pressure moni-
tor. The mains part must only be connected to the mains
voltage that is specified on the type plate.
• Then insert the mains plug of the mains part into the mains
socket.
• After using the blood pressure monitor, unplug the mains
part from the mains socket first and then disconnect it from
the blood pressure monitor. As soon as you unplug the
mains part, the blood pressure monitor loses the date and
time setting but the saved measurements are retained.

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.
5.1 Positioning cuff
Fit the cuff round your bare left 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.
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 unit may only be operated with the original cuff.
The cuff is suitable for an arm circumference of 22 to 36 cm.
