Attaching the cu
Place the cu on to the bare left up-
per arm. The circulation of the arm
must not be hindered by tight cloth-
ing or similar.
The cu must be placed on the up-
per arm so that the bottom edge is
positioned 2 – 3 cm above the elbow
and over the artery. The line points to
the centre of the palm.
Now tighten the free end of the cu,
but make sure that it is not too tight
around the arm and close the hook
and loop fastener. The cu should be
fastened so that two fingers fit under
the cu.
Now insert the cu line into the con-
nection for the cu connector.
Important: The unit may only be op-
erated with the original cu. The cu
is suitable for an arm circumference of 22 to 36 cm.
A larger cuff for upper-arm circumferences of 35 to 44 cm
can be obtained from specialist retailers or from the service
address using order number 163.387.
