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

The cuff should be firm but not too
tight.
Important: The correct apply-
ing of the cuff is essential for
a correct measurement result. The
marking on the edge of the cuff
helps you to choose the correct cuff
size. The white arrow must point to
an area within the sizing scale. If
the white arrow is outside the
scale, you need another cuff size
(see Chapter 10 "Accessories and
spare parts").

4. Measuring blood pressure

We recommend carrying out blood
pressure measurements whilst seat-
ed. Place your arm with the palm
relaxed upwards on a support and
make sure the cuff is at the level of
the heart.
Do not turn the device on until the
cuff has been applied, otherwise
the cuff can become damaged
through the resulting excess pres-
sure.
Press the START / STOP button.
The appearance of all display elem-
ents, followed by a flashing part of
the progress bar, shows that the
device is carrying out a test run for
checking and is ready for use.
Subsequently, automatic inflation
begins. Tensoval duo control is
equipped with Comfort Air
Technology, whereby the inflation
pressure is only as high as neces-
sary (30 mmHg over the systolic
value), therefore allowing measure-
ments to be taken without discom-
fort. If this inflation pressure is
insufficient, the device continues to
pump until a high enough pressure
is reached. Three short beeps
