This cuff is suitable for you if the
index mark ( ) is within the OK
range after fitting the cuff on the
upper arm.
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,

used for the measurement
Important: The instrument should only be operated with the
original cuff. The cuff is suitable for an arm circumference of
22 to 36 cm.
