Attaching the cuff
Place the cuff on to the bare left
upper arm. The circulation of the
arm must not be hindered by tight
clothing or similar.
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.
Now insert the cuff line into the
connection for the cuff connector.
Important: The unit may only be
operated with the original cuff. The cuff is suitable for an
arm circumference of 22 to 42 cm.
