Operation of the device
use apply by analogy. The cuff should fit in
such a way that 2 fingers can pass between
the arm and the cuff. Before tightening,
position your arm at a slight angle. The
upper arm muscle is tensed slightly and the
circumference of the arm increases slightly.
Now pull the free end of the cuff tight and
place it over the velcro strip firmly. Insert the
cuff air connector into the air socket on the
device as far as it will go. Stretch out the
upper arm, relax it and place it on the table.
It is essential that during measurement you
remain calm and do not talk. Your palm
should be facing upwards.
Important:
Never use the device above a critical part of the
body (e.g. wound, intravascular port).
If the cuff is too tight or too loose, this can lead
to inaccurate measurements. If you are wearing
a shirt or if you roll up your sleeve, this can
restrict the circulation of blood in the upper arm
and thus falsify measurements.
The cuff may only be inflated when it is attached
to the arm.
