5. Measuring blood pressure
Please ensure the device is at room temperature before
measuring.
Positioning cuff
Fit the cuff round your bare left
upper arm. Blood circulation in the
arm should not be restricted by
tight clothing or other objects.
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 place the free end of the cuff
snugly, but not too tightly, around
the arm, and fix it with the Velcro
fastener. The cuff should be fitted
tight enough to allow just two fin-
gers to fit beneath the cuff.
Insert the cuff tubing into the
socket for the cuff attachment.
Important: The device may only be operated with the origi-
nal cuffs. The device comes with 2 cuffs: a standard cuff
for arm circumferences of 22 to 30 cm and a larger cuff for
upper arm circumferences of 30 to 42 cm.
Correct posture
• Rest for approx. 5 minutes before each measurement.
Otherwise 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.
• In order not to distort the result, it is important to keep
still during the measurement and not talk.
Measuring blood pressure
• Put on the cuff as described previously and assume the
position in which you want to carry out the measurement.
• Switch on the blood pressure monitor with the "START/
STOP" button. After the full-screen display, the most
recently used user memory appears ( U0, U1....U9 ). To
change the user memory, press the "MEM" button and
confirm your selection with the "START/STOP" button. If
