Now bend your arm slightly, grasp the free end of the cuff, wrap it
firmly round your arm and close the hook-and-loop fastener.
The cuff should fit securely but not tightly. You should be
able to insert two fingers between the arm and the cuff.
Make sure the tube is not bent or damaged.
Important: It is essential that the cuff is correctly applied
to obtain correct measurements. The cuff included with the
device is a universal cuff for upper arm circumferences of 22
cm to 42 cm. The white arrow must point to an area within
the sizing scale. If it is outside the range, it is not possible to
guarantee a correct measurement result.
This innovative Veroval ®
ensures comfortable measurement. Inflation to 190 mmHg
is required for the first measurement. For subsequent mea-
device with Comfort Air Technology
surements, inflation pressure is adjusted individually based
on previously measured blood pressure values. This allows for
more comfortable upper arm measurements.
Carrying out the measurement
Rest for approx. 5 minutes before measurement.
You should take your blood pressure in a quiet place, in a relaxed
and comfortable seated position.

Measurement can be taken on the right or left arm. We recom-
mend you perform the measurement on the left upper arm. Over
the long term, the arm giving higher readings should be used
for blood pressure monitoring. However, if there is a very clear
difference between readings on either arm, you need to check with
your doctor which arm you should use for the measurement.
Always measure on the same arm and place your forearm in a
relaxed position on a support.
We recommend that you measure your blood pressure while sitting
with your back supported by the back of the chair. Place both feet
flat on the floor next to each other. Do not cross your legs. Relax
your forearm and hand with your palm facing upwards on a sup-
port and make sure the cuff is at the height of your heart.
Always take measurements at the same time of day. Only regular
measurements taken at the same time each day over a longer per-
iod of time give a meaningful assessment of blood pressure values.
Do not measure when you have a strong urge to urinate. A full
bladder can increase blood pressure by about 10 mmHg.
