Preparing to measure blood pressure
How to wear the unit
Wrap the cuff of the unit around your unclothed
wrist. Please make sure, the display is positioned
at your inner wrist (see picture).
Most persons have a higher blood pressure on
their left wrist. Therefore the measurement
should be taken on the left wrist. If the blood
pressure is higher on the right wrist, the measu-
rement should be taken on the right wrist.

It is important to sit
and relax for a few
minutes before taking
measurements which
are as reliable as pos-
sible.
Close the cuff with the velcro fastener. The cuff
should fit snugly around the wrist. When relaxed,
place your elbow on your chest with the wrist in
the same height as the your heart.
Note on cuff size: The unit must only be used in
combination with the CW51 cuff (wrist circumfe-
rence 13.5 to 21.5 cm).
