Measuring Blood Pressure - Beurer medical BM 77 Mode D'emploi

Operation with the mains part
You can also operate this device with a mains part.
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 071.60.
• 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.
Positioning cuff
Fit the cuff round your bare left upper
arm. Blood circulation in the arm
should not be restricted by tight cloth-
ing 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 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
fit under the cuff.
Now insert the cuff line into the
connection for the cuff connector.
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 24 to 40 cm.
