Attach the cuff
Place the cuff onto 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 should point to the centre of
the palm.
Now tighten the free end of the cuff,
but make sure that it is not too
tight around the arm and close the
hook-and-loop fastener. The cuff
should be fastened so that two
fingers can fit under 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 val-
ues are different. Always perform the measurement on the
same arm.
If the values between the two arms are significantly differ-
ent, please consult your doctor to determine which arm
should be used for the measurement.
Now insert the cuff line into the
connection for the cuff connector.
Caution: The unit may only be operated with the original
cuff. The cuff is suitable for an arm circumference of 22 to
35 cm.
A larger cuff for upper arm circumferences from 30 to 42 cm
is available from retailers or the service address under order
no. 162.795.
