Preparing a measurement
Establishing a Bluetooth® connection
If you would like to perform the measurement without direct data
transmission, the data will be saved on the measurement computer.
You can transfer them to the app later (see chapter “Manual data
transfer”).
If you would like to automatically transfer the measurements to the
app once measurement is complete, proceed as follows:
1.
Make sure that the Bluetooth® function of your smartphone or
tablet is switched on.
2.
Start the app if you have not already done so.
3.
Activate the user touch buttons with the ON/OFF switch
(see
fig. A
).
4.
Make sure that Bluetooth® on your measurement computer is
also on (see chapter “Setting the measurement computer”).
Fitting the cuff
1.
Expose the arm where you would like to measure the blood
pressure. Use your left arm if possible.
2.
Wrap the cuff
around the exposed upper arm (see
fig. C
).
3.
The bottom edge of the cuff must be 2–3 cm above the elbow and
over the artery. The cuff hose
must point towards the middle
of your palm.

4.
Now place the free end of the cuff around your arm.
5.
The cuff must be fitted tightly enough so that two fingers fit under
the cuff.
6.
Once the cuff has been properly fitted, close the Velcro strap.
7.
Now connect the cuff hose with the connector jack
on the
measurement computer
(see fig.
A and D
).
Assuming the correct posture
You can perform the measurement while sitting or lying down (see
fig.
E and F
). Be absolutely sure to observe the following instructions:
1.
The cuff must be roughly at the height of your heart, but no
higher.
2.
Rest your arms in a relaxed position.
3.
A chair with armrests or a table are required for measurements
performed while sitting.
4.
Do not move and do not speak while performing a measurement.
If you would like to measure your blood pressure while sitting, you
must also observe these instructions:
5.
Sit in a relaxed position when measuring your blood pressure and
lean back.
6.
Place your feet flat on the ground.
7.
Do not cross your legs.
