d) There must be no free space between the arm and the
cuff as this would influence the result. Clothing must
not restrict the arm. Any piece of clothing which does
(e.g. a pullover) must be taken off.
e) Secure the cuff with the Velcro closer in such a way
that it lies comfortably and is not too tight. Lay the
arm on the table (palm upwards) so that the cuff is at
the same height as the heart. Make sure that the
tube is not kinked.
f) Remain seated quietly for two minutes before you
begin the measurement.
Comment:
If it is not possible to fit the cuff to the left arm, it can
also be placed on the right one. However all measure-
ments should be made using the same arm
5.4. Measuring procedure
After the cuff has been appropriately positioned, the measurement can begin:
a) Switch on the instrument by pressing the O/I-Memory button.
The tube should not yet be attached to the instrument. The follo-
wing appears in the display for 2 seconds: (Diag., A short be-be-
beep follows to indicate that the instrument has equilibrated
with the pressure of the surroundings and the measurement can
therefore begin. A «0» is shown in the display.
b) Plug the T-connecting piece or the free end of the tube into the
left-hand side of the instrument.
c) Grasp the pump ball with your free hand and Inflate the cuff to a
pressure at least 40 mmHg higher than the expected systolic
pressure. If you do not know the value of this pressure, inflate to
a value of approximately 160–180 mmHg. The cuff pressure is
shown continuously on the LCD.
d) After the inflation process lay down the pump
ball and remain in a quiet and relaxed sitting position.
The measurement now proceeds on its own.
If no measurement takes place and all that appears in
the display is a flashing, upwards pointing arrow, see
below under «Inflate further». When the instrument
detects a pulse, a heart symbol in the display starts to
flash and a beep is heard for every heart beat.
