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 con-
nection for the cuff connector.
This cuff is suitable for you if the
index mark (
) is within the OK
range after fitting the cuff on the
upper arm.
If the measurement is performed on the right upper arm,
the line should be located on the inside of your elbow.
Ensure that your arm is not pressing on the line.
Blood pressure may vary between the right and left arm, which
may mean that the measured blood pressure values are differ-
ent. Always perform the measurement on the same arm.
If the values between the two arms are significantly different,
please consult your doctor to determine which arm should be
used for the measurement.
Important: The instrument should only be operated with the
original cuff. The cuff is suitable for an arm circumference of
22 to 36 cm.
A larger cuff for upper arm circumferences from 30 to 42 cm is
available from retailers or the service address under order no.
