Measuring Blood Pressure - Hartmann Tensoval duo control Instructions For Use Manual

Then take the free end of the cuff,
wrap it firmly round your arm and
close the Velcro fastener. Apply the
cuff so that the cuff tube is placed
in the centre of the bend of the
elbow, on the artery and that the
lower edge of the cuff is approx.
2 – 3 cm from the bend of the
elbow.
The cuff should be firm but not too
tight. You should be able to push
two fingers between the arm and
the cuff.
Please note that inappropriate
application of the cuff can
lead to inaccurate readings. Also
use the markings on the edge of
the cuff to check if the cuff size is
correct. The white arrow should
point on the red marking strip. If
the white arrow is outside the red
marking, you need another cuff size
(see Chapter 7 "Accessories and
spare parts").
In order to take measurements,
insert the red cuff connector in the
red cuff socket on the left side of
the device.

Do not turn the device on until the
cuff has been applied, otherwise
the cuff can become damaged
through the resulting excess pres-
