5. Carrying out a measurement
5. Carrying out a measurement
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.
5.3. 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 .
