Fitting the cuff
Insert air connector into air outlet shown in left photo and please make
sure the fitting of the air connector completely and properly to avoid air
leakage.
a)
The distance between the edge of cuff and the elbow should be
approx. 2~3cm.
b) Secure the cuff with the Velcro fastener, so that it lies
comfortably and not too tight, whereby no space should remain
between the cuff and the arm.
c) Lay the arm on a table, with the palm upwards. Support the arm
a little with a rest (cushion), so that the cuff rests at about the same
height as the heart. Take care, that the cuff lies free. Remain so for
2 minutes sitting quietly, before beginning with the measurement.
d) Let legs uncrossed, feet flat on the floor, back and arm supported.
