Preparing to measure your blood pressure
Attaching the cuff
The measurement should be taken from
the bare upper arm.
In the case of tightly fitting outer
clothing, ensure that the blood supply to
the arm is not cut off when the sleeve is
rolled up (if necessary remove the article of
clothing before taking the measurement).
➡
Open out the cuff into the shape of a
ring and slide it over the upper arm
until the bottom edge of the cuff is
about 2-3 cm above the elbow. The
cuff must be positioned so that the
marking is over the artery (see illustra-
tion 3).
➡
Press the Start button
All digital elements and function symbols
light up momentarily to indicate that the
unit is functioning correctly (see illustra-
tion 2).
