• To prevent possible damage to the device, the blood pressure monitor must only be used with the po-
wer supply unit described here.

5. Measuring blood pressure

Please ensure the unit is at room temperature before measuring.
Attach the cuff
Place the cuff on to the
bare left upper arm. The
circulation of the arm
must not be hindered
by tight clothing or
similar.
Caution: The unit may only be operated with the original cuff. The cuff is suitable for an arm circumference
of 22 to 36 cm.
Adopt the correct posture
• Before every measurement, relax for about
five minutes. Otherwise deviations can occur.
• You can perform the measurement while
sitting or lying. Make sure that the cuff is at
heart level.
• To avoid falsifying the measuring result, it is
important to remain still during the measurement and not to speak!
The cuff must be placed
on the upper arm so
that the bottom edge
is positioned 2 – 3 cm
above the elbow and
over the artery. The line
points to 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 Velcro
fastener. The cuff should
be fastened so that two
fingers fit under the cuff.
