Fitting the Cuff
The cuff must not be fitted over wounds as this could lead to further
injury.
Blood pressure must always be measured on the arm with the higher
pressure values. To do this, first measure blood pressure on both
arms and subsequently always on the arm which produced the higher
reading.
Place cuff in such a manner that the lower cuff edge finishes approx.
2 – 3 cm above the elbow and the centre of the rubber bag rests on
top of the artery.
Taking the measurement
Fully close the valve by turning the air release screw to the right. Inflate
the cuff to above the systolic pressure. By turning the air release valve,
the air release speed can be adjusted. The World Health Organisation
(WHO) recommends a deflation rate of 2 – 3 mmHg per second. To
avoid a reading error, read the pressure values perpendicular to the
scale.
After the measurement is completed open the release valve to fully
deflate the cuff.
Cuffs
Only use the prescribed boso-cuffs with 2-in-1 tube system.
The cuff must be selected such that it fits the arm circumference.
