5. Measuring blood pressure
Please ensure the unit is at room temperature before measuring.
The measurement can be performed on the left or right arm.
Attaching the cuff
Place the cuff on to the bare upper
arm. The circulation of the arm must
not be hindered by tight clothing or
similar.
The cuff must be placed on the upper
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 place the free end of the cuff
snugly, but not too tightly, around the
arm, and fix it with the hook and loop
fastener. The cuff should be fitted tight
enough to allow just two fingers to fit
beneath the cuff.
Now insert the cuff line into the
connection for the cuff connector.
This cuff is suitable for you if the
index mark ( ▼) is within the OK range
after fitting the cuff on the upper arm.
If the measurement is performed on the right upper arm,
the line should be located on the inside of
your elbow. Ensure that your arm is
not pressing on the line.
Blood pressure may vary between the right and left arm, which
may mean that the measured blood pressure values are differ-
ent. Always perform the measurement on the same arm.
