5. Measuring blood pressure

Ensure the device is at room temperature before measur-
ing. The measurement can be performed on the left or right
wrist.
Positioning cuff
• Expose your wrist. Making sure that the circulation in the
arm is not restricted by any clothes etc. that are too tight.
Position the cuff on the inside of your wrist.
• Fasten the cuff with the Velcro fastening so that the upper
edge of the monitor is positioned approx. 1 cm below the
ball of your thumb.
• The cuff has to be fitted tightly around the wristbut should
not constrict it.
Important: The instrument should only be operated with the
original cuff.
Blood pressure may vary between the right and left wrist,
which may mean that the measured blood pressure values are
different. Always perform the measurement on the same wrist.
If the values between the two wrists are significantly different,
please consult your doctor to determine which wrist should
be used for the measurement.
Correct posture
• Rest for approx. 5 minutes before each measurement.
Otherwise there may be divergences.
• You can perform the measurement
while sitting or lying. To carry out a
blood pressure measurement, make
sure you are sitting comfortably with
your arms and back leaning on some-
thing. Do not cross your legs. Place
your feet flat on the ground. Make sure to rest your arm
and move it. Always make sure that the cuff is at heart
level. Otherwise significant deviations can occur. Relax
your arm and the palm of your hand.
• In order not to distort the result, it is important to keep still
during the measurement and not talk.
