Attaching the cuff
• Fundamentally, blood pressure can be measured on both
arms. Certain deviations between the measured blood
pressure on the right arm and left arm are due to physio-
logical causes and completely normal. You should always
perform the measurement on the arm with the highest
blood pressure values. Before starting self-measurement,
consult your doctor in this regard. From this point on,
always take measurements on the same arm.
• The device may only be operated with one of the following
cuffs. This should be selected in accordance with your
upper arm circumference. The fit should be checked
before measurement using the index mark described

• Pass your bare upper arm
through the tube-shaped cuff.
• 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.
• Now tighten the free end of the
cuff, but make sure that it is not
too tight around the arm and
close the hook-and-loop
fastener. The cuff should be
fastened so that two fingers can
fit under the cuff.
• This cuff is suitable for you if the
index mark ( ) is within the OK
range after fitting the cuff on the
upper arm.
