5. Measurement Procedure
• Avoid eating and smoking as well as all forms of exertion directly before
measurement. These factors influence the measurement result. Find time to
relax by sitting in an armchair in a quiet atmosphere for about ten minutes
before taking a measurement.
• Remove any garment that fits closely to your upper arm.
• Always measure on the same arm (normally left).
5.1. Before measurement:
Please refer to picture-05
a) Wrap the cuff around your upper left arm. The rubber tube should be on
the inside of your arm extending downward to your hand. Make certain the
cuff lies approximately 2 to 3 cm above the elbow. Important! The on the
edge of the cuff (Artery Mark) must lie over the artery which runs down the
inner side of the arm.
b) To secure the cuff, wrap it around your arm and press the hook and loop
closure together.
c) There should be little free space between your arm and the cuff. You
should be able to fit 2 fingers between your arm and the cuff. Cuffs that don’t
fit properly result in false measurement values. Measure your arm
circumference if you are not sure of proper fit.
d) Lay your arm on a table (palm upward) so the cuff is at the same height as
your heart. Make sure the tube is not kinked.

begins to blink.
d) When the measurement has been concluded, the measured systolic and
diastolic blood pressure values, as well as the pulse will be displayed.

no button is pressed for 60 seconds, the device switches off automatically.

otherwise the wrong symbol( ) will be displayed. Please check again the
cuff if the wrong symbol( ) is displayed.
