• Avoid speaking or moving body parts while testing.
• While testing, avoid strong electromagnetic interference such as mobile phones and microwave ovens.
• Wait 3 minutes or longer before re-testing.
• Try to measure your blood pressure at the same time each day for consistency.
• Test comparisons should only be made when monitor is used on the same arm, in the same position, and at the same
time of day.
• This blood pressure monitor is not recommended for people with severe arrhythmia.
TESTING GUIDELINES
1. Insert the cuff plug into the cuff socket to the main unit. (the left side of the unit)
2. Fit the cuff to the upper arm with the direction mark at the inner side.
3. Wrap the cuff:
• The bottom edge of the cuff should be 1-2cm (0.4 - 0.8 inches) above
the elbow, Fig. 1.
• Wrap the cuff with a gap of 1 or 2 fingers. Be careful that the cuff is not
too tight.
• Close the Velcro fastener firmly.
The blood pressure can differ between the right arm and the left arm, and the measured blood
pressure values can be different. Obbomed recommends always using the same arm for measurement.
1-2cm (0.4-0.8 inches)

1. Carry out the measurement whilst comfortably seated.
2. The cuff should be at the same level as your heart, Fig. 2.

function is activated.
5. The arm cuff will automatically begin to inflate to the appropriate
pressure level. And the measurement starts once the unit slowly
releases air from the cuff.
6. A beep is heard when the measurement is complete. The systolic and
diastolic blood pressure and the pulse rate with the pulse symbol
appear on the display, Fig. 6. The blood pressure indicator flashes next
to the relevant colored bar depending on the WHO blood pressure
classification.
If the unit has detected an irregular heartbeat, the arrhythmia
display flashes.
7. The measured values are stored automatically. A total of up to 60
measured values with time and date can be stored.
