Beurer SR BM 2 Gebrauchsanweisung Seite 28

The cuff must be placed on the
upper arm so that the bottom
edge is positioned 2 – 3 cm above
the elbow and over the artery. The
line should point to the centre of
the palm.
Now tighten the free end of the
cuff, but make sure that it is not
too tight around the arm and close
the hook-and-loop fastener. The
cuff should be fastened so that
two fingers can fit under the cuff.
Now insert the cuff line into the
connection for the cuff connector.
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.
Ensure 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 val-
ues are different. Always perform the measurement on the
same arm.
If the values between the two arms are significantly differ-
ent, 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
42 cm.
Adopting the correct posture
• Before the initial blood pressure measurement, make sure
always to rest for about 5 minutes. Otherwise deviations
can occur.
• Furthermore, if you want to take several measurements in
succession, make sure always to wait for at least 1 minute
between the individual measurements.
• You can take the measurement while sitting or lying. Al-
ways make sure that the cuff is at heart level.
