Now insert the cuff line into the connection
for the cuff connector.
The cuff is suitable for you if the index mark (▼)
is within the OK range after fitting 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.

7.2 Adopting the correct posture

• Before the initial blood pressure measurement,
always make sure to rest for about 5 minutes!
Otherwise discrepancies can occur.
• You can take the measurement while sitting or
lying. Always make sure that the cuff is at heart
level.
• 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.
• To avoid distorting the measurement, it is important
to remain still during the measurement and not to
speak.
• Wait for at least 1 minute before taking another
measurement.
