d) Tighten the cuff by pulling the end and close the cuff by affixing
the velcro. Make sure that the cuff Index end falls between the
OK lines when the cuff is in position. If it doesn’t, you are using
the wrong cuff size.
e) There should be little free space between the arm and the cuff.
You should be able to fit 2 fingers between your arm and the
cuff. Clothing must not restrict the arm. Any piece of clothing
which does must be removed.
f) Lay your arm on a table (palm upward) so the cuff is at the same
height as the heart. Make sure that the tube is not kinked.
g) Remain seated quietly for five minutes before you begin the
measurement.
Comment:
If it is not possible to fit the cuff to the left arm, it can also
be placed on your right arm. However, all measurements
should be made using the same arm.
5.4. Measuring procedure
After the cuff has been appropriately positioned the
measurement can begin:
a) Press the START button. The pump begins to inflate
the cuff. In the display, the increasing cuff-pressure is
continually displayed.
