Preparing to measure blood pressure
medilife
How to wear the unit
Wrap the cuff of the unit around your unclothed
wrist. Please make sure, the display is positioned
at your inner wrist (see drawing). Most persons
have a higher blood pressure on their left wrist.
Therefore the measurement should be taken on
the left wrist. If the blood pressure is higher on
the right wrist, the measurement should be taken
on the right wrist.
To ensure that the
results are as accura-
te as possible, sit
down and relax for a
few minutes before
starting the measure-
ment.
Close the cuff with the velcro fastener. The cuff
should fit snugly around the wrist. Hold your arm
in a relaxed position to your body (see drawing).
In this position, your wrist joint with the measu-
ring unit is on a level with your heart.
Note on cuff size: The unit must only be used in
combination with the CW 31 cuff (wrist circumfe-
rence 13.5 to 21.5 cm).
