5. Measuring blood pressure

Ensure the device is at room temperature before measuring.
The measurement can be performed on the left or right arm.
Attaching 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

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 should
point to the centre of the palm.

If the measurement is performed on the right upper arm,
the line should be located on the inside of your elbow. En-

Blood pressure may vary between the right and left arm, which
may mean that the measured blood pressure values are diffe-

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.
