5.4. Measurement mode selection
3 Check Mode:
a) If you would like to take a 3 Check measurement, please slide the switch to the upside toward no. 3.
b) 3Check mode takes generally 3 measurements in succession and calculates the result.
c) The « » symbol in the display indicates that the device is set to the 3 Check mode.
Single mode:
a) If you would like to take a single measurement, please slide the switch toward no. 1.
b) Single mode only has 1 measurement.
5.3. Fitting the cuff
a) Pass the end of the cuff (with sewn-in rubber stopper) through the metal stirrup so that a loop
is formed. The Velcro closer must be facing outwards. (Ignore this step if the cuff has already been
prepared.)
b) Push the cuff over the left upper arm so that the tube points in the direction of the lower arm.
c) Lay the cuff on the arm as illustrated. Make certain that the lower edge of the cuff lies approximately
2 to 3 cm above the elbow and that the rubber tube leaves the cuff on the inner side
of the arm. Important! The mark (ca. 3 cm long bar) must lie exactly over the artery which runs down
the inner side of the arm.
d) Tighten the free end of the cuff and close the cuff with the closer.
e) There must be no free space between the arm and the cuff as this would influence the result.
Clothing must not restrict the arm. Any piece of clothing which does (e.g. a pullover) must be taken off.
f) Secure the cuff with the Velcro closer in such a way that it lies comfortably and is not too tight. Lay
the arm on the table (palm upwards) so that the cuff is at the same height as the heart. Make sure that
the tube is not kinked.
g) Remain seated quietly for two minutes before you begin the measurement.
Comment
If it is not possible to fit the cuff to the left arm, it can also be placed on the right one.
However all measurements should be made using the same arm.
