7. It is important for the cuff to be the correct size to ensure accurate blood pressure measurement. To
make it possible to measure reproducible values, there should be standardised measurement
conditions, i.e. the cuff size should be adjusted to the patient. The arm circumference can be
measured with the tape measure included in the delivery package in the middle of the upper arm and
the cuff is then selected:
Upper arm circumference Cuff
14 - 20 cm (5,5-7,9 Inch) XS
20 - 24 cm (7,9-9,5 Inch) S
24 - 32 cm (9,5-12,6 Inch) M
32 - 38 cm (12,6-15,0 Inch) L

– 55 cm (15,0-21,7 Inch)

8. Connect the cuff pressure tube to the blood pressure monitor. Firmly attach the tube to the connector,
the pressure tube must audibly click into place; when detaching, simply pull back the outer metal ring
of the plug.
9. The blood pressure monitor is now properly set up and ready for measurement.
Instructions for preparing the blood pressure monitor using the HMS CS can be found in the HMS
CS operating manual.
After all the previous steps have been taken, the blood pressure monitor can be put into operation. First of all, a
manual measurement is taken by pressing the "START" button. This measurement will make it possible to
determine if the blood pressure monitor is working properly.
If you encounter any errors, check the correct procedure for setting up and putting on the equipment again. If this
does not help you, repeat the setup procedure.
Only after a successful manual measurement can the patient be discharged until the device is removed.
Terminating measurement
During a measurement, the measurement can be terminated with ANY button. The display will then say " -StoP- "
and a beep will sound 5 times. This termination will also be stored in the table of readings under “terminated”.
If the measurement is aborted, a new measurement will start after 3 minutes.
