• The patient should avoid drinking large quantities
before the measurement; the bladder should have
been emptied as far as possible.
• Avoid taking measurements within 60 minutes
after the patient has consumed alcohol or nicotine.
• If a patient takes blood pressure effective
medication, ask when he/she last took it.
• Wait approximately 3 minutes before repeating
a measurement.
Measuring
For every blood pressure measurement at the
wrist an appropriate measuring position at heart
level is essential for accurate results.
1. Fasten the appliance on the patient's left arm
on the radial side of the forearm (see illustration).
Make sure the cuff (G) fits tight. Stand close to
the patient in a position so that you can easily
see the display and the control buttons. Press the
«I/0» button (C). An arrow appears on the right
hand side of the display (A). If there are readings
stored in the memory, «mem» appears in the
lower left corner of the display.
2. Help the patient to take the measuring position
as shown. The arms should remain close to the
body. Make sure the appliance is positioned
approximately at the person's heart level.
Move the forearm of the patient up or down
(see illustration) in the direction of the arrow.
