Selecting the correct cuff

centre of the upper arm).

22 - 42 cm
32 - 42 cm

Pre-shaped cuffs are optionally available.
Only use Microlife cuffs.
Contact your local Microlife Service if the enclosed cuff 8 does

Connect the cuff to the device by inserting the cuff connector 9

2. Checklist for taking a reliable measurement
Avoid activity, eating or smoking immediately before the
measurement.
Sit down on a back-supported chair and relax for 5 minutes.
Keep your feet flat on the floor and do not cross your legs.
Always measure on the same arm (normally left). It is recom-
mended that doctors perform double arm measurements on a
patients first visit in order to determine which arm to measure in
the future. The arm with the higher blood pressure should be
measured.
