Measuring Blood Pressure; Positioning Cuff - Beurer BM 44 Instrucciones De Uso

5. Measuring blood pressure

Please ensure the device is at room temperature before
measuring. The measurement can be performed on the left
or right arm.

Positioning cuff

Fit the cuff round your bare upper
arm. Blood circulation in the arm
should not be restricted by tight
clothing or other objects.
The cuff should be placed on the
upper
arm so that the lower edge is 2 to 3
cm above the bend of the elbow
and above the artery. The tube
should be in line with the centre of
the palm.
Now place the free end of the cuff
snugly, but not too tightly, around
the arm, and fix it with the Velcro
fastener. The cuff should be fitted
tight enough to allow just two
fingers to fit beneath the cuff.
Insert the cuff tubing into the socket
for the cuff attachment.
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 different. Always perform the measurement on the same
arm.
If the values between the two arms are significantly differ-
ent, 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 30 cm.
A larger cuff for upper arm circumferences from 30 to 42 cm
is available from retailers or the service address under order
no. 162.795.
