3. Fitting the cuff
a) Remove all eventual objects and jewellery
(e.g. wristwatch) from the wrist in question.
Draw the cuff over the wrist.
b) The distance between the cuff and the hand
should be approx. 10 mm.
c) Secure the cuff with the Velcro fastener, so
that it lies comfortably and not too tight, whe-
reby no space should remain between the
cuff and the wrist.
d) 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.
e) Let legs uncrossed, feet flat on the floor, back
and arm supported.
4. Measuring procedure
After the cuff has been appropriately positioned, the measurement can begin:
a) Press the
button, the pump begins to inflate the cuff.
In the display, the increasing cuff-pressure is continually displayed.
b) After reaching the inflation pressure, the pump stops and the pressure
slowly falls away. The cuff-pressure (large characters) is displayed during
the measurement. When the device has detected the pulse, the heart
symbol in the display begins to blink for every pulse beat.
c) When the measurement has been concluded, The measured systolic and
diastolic blood-pressure values as well as the pulse frequency are now
displayed.
