5. Measuring blood pressure

Ensure the device is at room temperature before measuring.
The measurement can be performed on the left or right arm.
Attaching the cuff
Place the cuff on to the bare left upper
arm. The circulation of the arm must not
be hindered by tight clothing or similar.
The cuff must be placed on the upper
arm so that the bottom edge is posi-
tioned 2 – 3 cm above the elbow and
over the artery. The line should point to
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 fas-
tened so that two fingers fit under the
cuff.

If the measurement is performed on the right upper arm, the
line should be located on the inside of your elbow. Ensure
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 different.
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 22 to 36 cm.
A larger cuff for upper-arm circumferences of 35 to 44 cm can
be obtained from specialist retailers or from the service address
using order number 163.387.
Adopting the correct posture
• Before every measurement, relax for about five minutes. Oth-
erwise deviations can occur.
