Place cuff in such a manner that the lower cuff edge finishes
ca. 2 – 3 cm above the elbow and the centre of the rubber bag
rests on top of the artery.
Taking the measurement:
Fully close the valve by turning the air release screw to the
right. Inflate the cuff to above the systolic pressure. By tur-
ning the air release valve the air release speed can be ad-
justed. The World Health Organisation (WHO) recom-
mends a deflation rate of 2 – 3 mmHg per second. To avoid
a reading error, read the pressure values perpendicular to
the scale.
After the measurement is completed open the release valve
to fully deflate the cuff.
Cuffs:
Only use the prescribed boso cuffs with their special

ference.
Technical Data:
Measuring range: 0 – 300 mmHg

Storing conditions:
–30°C – 70°C, 15 – 85% rel. humidity
Operating conditions:
10°C – 40°C, 15 – 85% rel. Humidity
Cleaning of unit and the cuff:
– To clean your unit it is only necessary to use a soft dry cloth.
– To clean the cuff, first remove the rubber bag. The outer
cuff can then be washed by hand at a maximum tempe-
rature of 30 degrees Celsius.
Disinfection:
For disinfectant wipes (at least 5 minutes exposure time) of
the device and the cuff, we recommend the disinfectant li-
quid Microzid Liquid Sensitiv (Schülke & Mayr).
To disinfect the cuff, we recommend spray disinfection.
