Putting on the blood pressure monitor and starting measurement
Fig. 2 Putting on the cuff
Place the holster on the patient. By varying the length of the
strap, you can use it either as a waist strap or as a shoulder
strap. Alternatively, a normal belt can be used that matches
the clothes. Now put the cuff on the patient. Correct
positioning of the cuff is important for accurate measurement
(see Fig. 2).
We recommend placing the cuff on the bare upper arm.
However, the cuff can also be worn over a thin shirt or a thin
blouse.
Please note the following:
1. When connecting the monitor to the patient, the monitor must not be connected to other external
devices!
2. The cuff must be positioned so that the pressure tube cannot be kinked at any point! Here, the course
of the pressure tube should ensure free movement of the upper arm and should be guided around the
neck to the other side of the body. In this regard, the tube connection on the cuff must face upwards.
3. It is imperative that the artery symbol be positioned on the brachial artery! When the cuff is put on
correctly, the metal strap lies on the outside of the upper arm (elbow side).
4. The fabric strap must cover the skin underneath the metal strap!
5. The lower edge of the cuff should be about 2 cm (0,8 Inch)
above the patient’s elbow!
6. The cuff should only be placed on the upper arm. Correct positioning can be checked using a simple
test: You should be able to insert one or two fingers under the cuff.
