Remove any kind of arm jewelry or the like before
taking a measurement. This could cause bruises.
•
Do not place the cuff over heavy clothing (e.g. a
jacket or sweater sleeve) as the blood pressure
monitor will not be able to take a proper measure-

hematoma or skin marks during the course of the
measurement.

In case the cuff does not stop inflating, interrupt
the measurement by pressing the start/stop but-

Please note that when inflating, the functions of
the limb in question may be impaired.
