The cuff should be firm but not too
tight. You should be able to push one
or two fingers between the arm and the
cuff. Note: Uneven wrapping of the cuff
can lead to inaccurate results.
Use the markings on the edge of the
cuff to check cuff size is correct. The
white arrow should lie within the red
marking strip.
Insert the cuff connector in the cuff
socket on the left side of the device.
NB: do not use the mains connection
socket on the back of the device!
7. Measuring blood pressure
It is recommended that blood pressure
measurements are carried out whilst
seated. Place your arm with the palm
upwards on a support and make sure
the cuff is at the level of the heart.
Do not turn the device on until the cuff
has been applied, otherwise the cuff
can become damaged through the
resulting excess pressure.
Press the START/STOP button. The
appearance of all display segments
followed by a flashing arrow pointing
downwards, shows that the device is
checking itself automatically and is
ready for use. Subsequently, automatic
inflation begins at approx. 190 mmHg.
If the pump pressure is insufficient or if
the measurement is interrupted, the
device continues to pump at a rate of
30 mmHg until a high enough pressure
is reached.
If you require a higher inflation pres-
sure, you can avoid having to repeat
pumping by pressing the START/STOP
button again shortly after inflation starts
until the desired cuff pressure is
reached. This should be approx.
30 mm Hg over the systolic value.
Important: do not move or talk
throughout the entire measuring
procedure.
As pressure in the cuff decreases, the
heart symbol and the falling cuff pres-
sure are displayed.
A beep indicates the end of measure-
ment. The systolic and diastolic read-
ings appear simultaneously on the
display, with the pulse rate beneath
them (see fig.).

The time appears above the reading
and M1 or M2 is displayed on the left.
M1 represents the reading for the first
person and M2 for the second. As long
as the reading is displayed, you can
apply the values to the respective per-
son by pressing M1 or M2. Otherwise,
if you do not apply them the reading is
automatically saved for the person on
the display.
To switch off the device, simply press
the START/STOP button. Otherwise the
device will switch itself off automatically
after 3 minutes.
If you wish to stop measurement for
any reason, simply press the
START/STOP button. The inflation or
measuring process is interrupted and
an automatic fall in pressure occurs.
8. Memory function
The memory recall is activated when
the "Memory Button" is pressed, when
the device is switched off. Press M1 for
the first person's recorded values and
M2 for the second person. The corre-
English
sponding symbol M1 or M2 will be
displayed. First, the average value of
all saved data will be shown for this
person. An "A" appears on the display
and the number of readings, from
which the average value was calculated
is displayed in the top right-hand corner
(see fig.).
Press the memory button to access
memory position No. 1
Tensoval comfort can store up to
30 measurements. The most recent
measurement is always in memory
position No.1 and all old measurement
values shift down one position. When
all memory positions are occupied the
oldest value will be deleted each time.
By repeatedly pressing the memory-
button all stored values can be recalled
one by one.
The measurement and the relevant
number of the memory position appear
when you access stored values. The
memory position, date and time appear
in 2 – 3 second intervals.
You can cancel the memorys recall at
