of the lower arm.

the arm.
3.2.4 Make sure that the cuff is positioned 2-3 cm above the elbow.
3.2.5 Secure the cuff with the Velcro and make sure the cuff is comfortably attached and not
too tight.
3.2.6 Lay the arm of the patient on the table (palm upwards), so that the cuff is at the same
height as the heart.
3.2.7 Make sure that the tube is not kinked.
3.3 SELECTING THE MEASUREMENT MODE
This device allows you to measure in three different measurement modes. Select between
Standard BP Measurement 1x (30), Triple BP Measurement 3x (31) and Manual BP Measurement
