7. Attaching the cuff

Before applying the cuff, please check that the circumference of
your upper arm is within the range spec-
ified on the cuff. An incorrect cuff size
could result in inaccurate readings.
• Expose your upper arm.
• Push the cuff onto the arm until the
lower edge of the cuff is 2-3 cm above
the crook of the arm (Figure 1, Figure 2).
• When placed on the left arm, the air
hose runs down the middle of the
crook of the arm to the device. This au-
tomatically positions the 4 cm long ar-
tery marking centrally above the pulse
position (Figure 3).
• When placed on the right arm, the cuff
must be rotated to the left until the ar-
tery marking is on the pulse position.
The air hose then runs along the inner
side of the upper arm (Figure 4).
• The cuff should not be too tight. You
should be able to insert two fingers between the arm and the
cuff. Tip:

Operating the device
- Angle the arm slightly
- Slightly tense the upper arm muscle
- This increases the circumference of
the arm slightly
• Now pull the free end of the cuff tight
and close the Velcro fastener (Figure 5).
• Check that the measurement arrow
on the cuff is within the „Marking for
arm circumference" on the cuff edge
(Figure 6).
• Connect the plug of the cuff to the cuff
connection on the left-hand side of the
device. Ensure that the plug is fully inserted into the device.
• Place the arm with the cuff on a table so that it is loosely
stretched out and hold it very still during the measurement,
do not talk. The palm of your hand should be facing upwards.

8. Body position during the measurement

The measurement should preferably be performed in a sitting
position. Measurements in a lying position are also permitted in
exceptional cases. The body must be in a relaxed position.
Measurement in a sitting position
• Sit at a table (preferably at the height of a
dining table, not a coffee table).
• Sit with your back against the backrest of the
chair.
• Rest your entire lower arm on the table with
the palm facing upwards.
