The cuff should be placed on the up-
per arm so that the lower edge is 2
to 3 cm above the bend of the el-
bow and above the artery. The tube
should be in line with the centre of
the palm.
Now place the free end of the cuff
snugly, but not too tightly, around
the arm, and fix it with the Velcro fas-
tener. The cuff should be fitted tight
enough to allow just two fingers to
fit beneath the cuff.
Insert the cuff tubing into the socket
for the cuff attachment.
Important:
The instrument should only be operated with the
original cuff. The cuff is suitable for an arm circumference
of 22 to 30 cm.
correct posture
•
Rest for approx. 5 minutes before each measurement. Oth-
erwise there may be divergences.
•
You can perform the measurement either sitting or lying down.
Always make sure that the cuff is on a level with your heart.
•
In order not to distort the result, it is important to keep still
during the measurement and not talk.
Measuring blood pressure
•
Switch on the blood pressure monitor with the ‚START/
STOP‘ button.
•
Before the measurement, the last saved test result is briefly
displayed. If there is no measurement in the memory, the
instrument always displays the value ‚0‘.
•
The cuff is pumped up to 180 mmHg. Cuff air pressure is
released slowly.
If a tendency towards high blood pressure is already de-
tectable, the cuff is pumped up again and cuff pressure
increased further. As soon as a heart rate is detected, the
heart rate symbol is displayed.
•
Heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure are dis-
played.
•
You can interrupt measurement at any time by pressing the
‚START/STOP‘ button.
•
‚Er‘ appears if it has not been possible to perform the meas-
urement properly. Observe the section in these instructions
on error messages/troubleshooting and repeat the meas-
urement.
•
The test result is saved automatically.
•
To switch off and release the pressure, press the ‚START/
STOP‘ button again. If you forget to switch off the device,
it switches off automatically after approx. 1 minute.
Wait at least 5 minutes before taking another measurement!
