Select the intended user (user 1 or user 2) by pressing the time button.
Before each measurement, ensure that the correct user is selected.
5. How do I take a measurement?
Please note: You should always be seated before and during the measurement.
5.1. Preparing to take a measurement
•
Avoid activity, eating or smoking immediately before the measurement.
•
Sit down on a back-supported chair and relax for 5 minutes. Keep the feet flat on the floor
and do not cross your legs.
•
Always measure in a sitting position and on the same wrist. Use the wrist which usually
shows higher blood pressure values.
•
Remove any items of clothing and your watch, for example, so that your wrist is free.
•
Always ensure that the cuff is positioned correctly, as shown in the pictures illustrated on
the short instruction card.
•
Fit the cuff comfortably but not too tight. The cuff will cover a wrist circumference of
13.5 – 23 cm (5.25 – 9.06 inches).
•
Support your arm in a relaxed position and ensure that the device is at the same height
as your heart.
5.2. Common errors
Note:
Comparable blood pressure measurements always require the same conditions. These are
normally always quiet conditions.
• All efforts to support the arm can increase blood pressure. Make sure you are in a
comfortable, relaxed position and do not flex any of the muscles in the measurement arm
during the measurement. Use a cushion for support if necessary.
• If the wrist artery lies considerably lower (higher) than the heart, an erroneously higher
(lower) blood pressure will be measured. (Each 15 cm/6" difference in height results in a
measurement error of 10 mmHg.)
• A loose cuff causes false measurement values.
• With repeated measurements, blood can accumulate in the respective arm, which can lead
to false results. Correctly executed blood pressure measurements should therefore first be
repeated after a 1 minute pause or after the arm has been held up in order to allow the
