Body Posture When Taking Measurements; Measuring Blood Pressure - uebe visomat comfort eco Mode D'emploi

C
• Check if the measurement arrow on the cuff is inside the "marking for arm
circumference" at the edge of the cuff.
• Lay your extended and relaxed arm with the cuff on the dining table and do
not move it during the measurement; do not talk. The palm should be facing
upwards.
• Connect the cuff connector to the cuff socket on the left-hand side of the unit.
Make sure the connector is fully inserted into the unit.

8. Body posture when taking measurements

Whenever possible, measurements should be taken while sitting. In exceptional
cases it is also permitted to take measurements while lying down. Body posture
must be relaxed.
Measurement while sitting
• For this purpose, sit at a table (if possible the height of
a dining table, not a coffee table!).
• Rest your back against the backrest of the chair.
• Rest your forearm completely flat, with the palm of
your hand facing upwards.
• Place your feet on the floor and do not cross your legs.
Measurement while lying down
• Lie on your back. Look up at the ceiling during the measurement. Remain
calm and do not move.

• Make sure that the measuring point on the upper
arm is approximately at the level of your heart. A
measuring point lower than the heart may result
in a higher reading. A measuring point higher than
the heart may result in a lower reading.

9. Measuring blood pressure

• Switch on the unit by pressing the Start/Stop button.
The following display is visible (Fig. 1):
• After the unit has completed its calibration against the
ambient air pressure (Fig. 2), the cuff is automatically
inflated to approx. 180 mmHg (Fig. 3). If that cuff
pressure is not sufficient for measuring the blood
pressure level, the device automatically increases the
cuff pressure in steps of 30 mmHg until a sufficient
cuff pressure has been reached.
• For an inflation pressure exceeding 180 mmHg the
inflation process can also be controlled manually: Press
the Start/Stop button once again after the inflation
has started and release it when the cuff pressure has
reached 40 mmHg above the expected maximum sys-
tolic blood pressure. The inflation stops with releasing
the button.
• The actual measurement takes place with the start of
deflation (Fig. 4). The symbol in the display flashes
until the pulse frequency is displayed.
