3.4 Applying the cuff
Measurement should be taken
on the naked arm which usually
has the higher blood pressure
value.
When using the draw-clamp cuff
(standard cuff), included with
the device, thread the end of the
cuff through the metal hoop, so
as to form a loop. In this
instance, the Velcro fastener
must be on the outside. Wrap
the cuff round the upper arm,
the air tube lies in the centre of
the elbow angle, running down
on the inside of the forearm on
a level with the middle fi nger,
pointing towards the hand. Take
the free end of the cuff, wrap it
fi rmly round the arm and close
the Velcro fastener.
Check that the white strip is
placed in the middle of the
elbow, on the artery and that
the lower edge of the cuff is
approx. 2.5 cm from the bend of
the elbow (see fi g.).
The cuff should be fi rm but not
too tight. You should be able to
push two fi ngers between the
arm and the cuff. Please note
that uneven wrapping of the cuff
can lead to inaccurate readings.
Use the markings on the edge of
the cuff to check whether 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. Attention: do not use the
mains adapter socket on the
back of the device!
Make sure that the tube is not
kinked or damaged, as the
measurement could otherwise be
impaired.
