Measuring; Cuff Placement; Starting The Measurement - Soehnle Systo Monitor 180 Mode D'emploi

Measuring information
The measurements may be incorrect
under the following circumstances:
• Within 1 hour after a meal or a drink
• Measurements immediately after
consuming tea, coffee, or after
smoking
• Within 20 minutes after a bath
• While speaking or moving fingers
• In a very cold environment
• With a strong urge to urinate
• Relax for 5 min. before measuring.
• Wait at least 3 min. between two
measurements. This allows the blood
flow in your arm to return to normal.
• For a reasonable comparison of
various measurement values,
always attempt to measure in the
same situations. For example, take
your measurement daily at around
the same time and with the upper
arm in the position as shown to
you by a doctor.

Cuff placement

1. Place the cuff on the upper arm
and then turn the hose towards
the inside of the arm in line with
the pinkie finger. You can also
align the arterial mark so that it
is placed above the largest artery
(on the inside of the arm). You can
find the largest artery by gently
pushing 2 fingers approximately 2
cm above the crook of your arm,
on the inside of your left arm. Find
where the pulse can be felt the
strongest. This is where the largest
artery is located. (Fig. 1)
2. The cuff should be snug but not
too tight. It must be possible to
insert one finger between the cuff
and your arm. (Fig. 2)
3. Sit in a comfortable position and
place the arm on which the meas-
urement will be taken on a level
surface.
Sit down comfortably prior to
starting the measurement: do not
cross your legs, place the soles of
your feet on the floor, your back
and arm should be supported.
4. For users with hypertension:
The centre of the cuff should be
at the level of the right atrium
(Fig. 3).
