• Before the initial blood pressure measurement, make sure
always to rest for 5 minutes.
• Furthermore, if you want to take several measurements in
succession, make sure always to wait for at least 1 minute
between the individual measurements.
• Repeat the measurement if you are unsure of the meas-
ured value.
Attaching the cuff
• Fundamentally, blood pressure can be measured on both
arms. Certain deviations between the measured blood
pressure on the right arm and left arm are due to physio-
logical causes and completely normal. You should always
perform the measurement on the arm with the highest
blood pressure values. Before starting self-measurement,
consult your doctor in this regard. From this point on,
always take measurements on the same arm.
• The device may only be operated with one of the follow-
ing cuffs. This should be selected in accordance with
your upper arm circumference. The fit should be checked
before measurement using the index mark described be-
low.

• Place the cuff onto the bare upper
arm. The circulation of the arm
must not be hindered by tight
clothing or similar.
• 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 here.
• Guide the end of the cuff that is
sticking out through the metal
ring, fold it back over the arm and
close the cuff using the hook-and-
loop fastener. The cuff should be
fastened tightly, but not too
tightly, so that two fingers can still
fit under the closed cuff.
• The cuff is suitable for you if the
index mark (
