You should wait 5 minutes between two measurements.
• Avoid coffee, tea, alcohol and cigarettes at least 30 minutes before measur-
ing your blood pressure.
• Following exercise and bathing, wait approx. 30 minutes until measuring.

ure your blood pressure on the same arm.

Putting on the inflatable cuff

1 Put the inflatable cuff on your bare, left upper arm. The
blood flow of the arm must not be restricted by clothing that
is too tight or something similar.
2 Position the cuff on the upper arm so that the lower edge
sits 2 – 3 cm above the crook of your arm and over the
artery. The blue marking of the cuff and the hose point to
the crook of your arm.
3 Now pull the free end of the cuff around your arm, but not
too tightly, and fasten the Velcro. The cuff should be loose
enough to allow two fingers to fit under it.
