6 Measuring blood pressure and pulse
Before measuring
▪ Choose the right cuff size. The blood pressure cuff size is printed on the cuff.
▪ Avoid eating, smoking or any strenuous activity directly before the measurement. All these factors affect
the results. Before measuring your blood pressure, you should relax in a quiet atmosphere for 5 minutes.
▪ Always measure on the same arm (normally your left).
▪ Blood pressure changes over the course of the day. Measurements are only comparable when they are
measured at the same time of day and under the same circumstances.
Putting the blood pressure cuff on
WARNING
Risk of injury due to incorrectly connected air hose!
▪ Do not kink, knot or stretch the air hose.
WARNING
The blood pressure monitor must only be operated with the original blood pressure cuff, since otherwise there
is a danger of incorrect measurements or injury!
