Beurer BM 77 Mode D'emploi page 29

The cuff should be placed on the upper
arm so that the lower edge is 2 to 3 cm
above the bend of the elbow and
above the artery. The tube should be in
line with 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 fastened so that two fingers
fit under the cuff.
Now insert the cuff line into the
connection for the cuff connector.
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,
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 24 to 40 cm.
Correct posture
• Rest for approx. 5 minutes before each measurement. Other-
wise there may be divergences.
• You can perform the measurement either sitting or lying down.
Always make sure that the cuff is on a level with your heart.
• To carry out a blood pressure measurement, make sure you
are sitting comfortably with your arms and back leaning on
something. Do not cross your legs. Place your feet flat on the
ground.
• In order not to distort the result, it is important to keep still
during the measurement and not talk.
Performing the blood pressure measurement
As described above, attach the cuff and adopt the pos-
ture in which you want to perform the measurement.
• To start the blood pressure monitor, press
the Start/stop button
ments are briefly displayed.
The blood pressure monitor will begin the
measurement automatically after 3 seconds.
