5 Measurement Procedure
5.1 Before measurement:
Avoid eating and smoking as well as all forms of exertion directly before measurement. These
factors influence the measurement result. Find time to relax by sitting in an armchair in a quiet
atmosphere for about ten minutes before taking a measurement.
Remove any garment that fits closely to your upper arm.
Always measure on the same arm (normally left).
5.2 Fitting the Cuff
Please refer to picture-05
a) Wrap the cuff around your upper left arm. The rubber tube should be on the inside of your arm
extending downward to your hand. Make certain the cuff lies approximately 2 to 3 cm above the
elbow. Important! The on the edge of the cuff (Artery Mark) must lie over the artery which runs
down the inner side of the arm.
b) To secure the cuff, wrap it around your arm and press the hook and loop closure together.
c) There should be little free space between your arm and the cuff. You should be able to fit 2 fingers
between your arm and the cuff. Cuffs that don’t fit properly result in false measurement values.
Measure your arm circumference if you are not sure of proper fit.
d) Lay your arm on a table (palm upward) so the cuff is at the same height as your heart. Make sure the
tube is not kinked.
