Now insert the cuff line into the
connection for the cuff connector.
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 diffe-
rent. 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 unit may only be operated with the original
cuff. The cuff is suitable for an arm circumference of 23 to 43 cm.
Adopting the correct posture
• Before every measurement, relax for about five minutes.
Otherwise deviations can occur.
• You can take the measurement while sitting or lying down.
Always make sure that the cuff is at heart level.
• To carry out a blood pressure measurement, make sure you
are sitting comfortably with your arms and back leaning on
something. Do not cross your legs. Place your feet flat on the
ground.
