General instructions for self-measurement To do this, measure the blood pressure first in both arms and thereafter always from the arm with the higher blood pressure.

Preparing to measure your blood pressure ➡ Set the pressure selector switch ‘DRUCKVORWAHL’ to the desired cuff pressure which should be at least 30 to 40 mmHg higher than the systolic (upper) blood pressure reading. If you are not sure of this value, set the selec- tor switch to 150 mmHg for the first measurement.
Preparing to measure your blood pressure Observe the following instructions Attaching the cuff when measuring your blood pressure: The measurement should be taken from Avoid smoking or drinking coffee the bare upper arm. for one hour before measuring In the case of tightly fitting outer your blood pressure.
