Directions For Use
Tube connection
Insert the cuff tube into the
opening provided on the left side
of the monitor, as shown in the
diagram.
Carrying out a measurement
Before the measurement:
•
Avoid eating, smoking, and all forms of exertion directly
before performing the measurement. All these factors
influence the measurement results. Relax by sitting in an
armchair in a quiet atmosphere for about 10 minutes before
the measurement.
•
Remove any garment that fits closely to your upper arm.
•
Always measure on the same arm (preferably left).
•
Attempt to carry out the measurements regularly at the
same time of day, since blood pressure changes during the
course of the day.
Common sources of error
Note:
Comparable blood pressure measurements always require the same
conditions. These should be quiet conditions.
•
All efforts by the patient to support the arm can increase the
blood pressure. Make sure you are in a comfortable, relaxed
position and do not activate any of the muscles in the arm
