Attach the cuff
1 2 3
1 cm
• Expose your wrist. Ensure that the circulation of the
arm is not hindered by tight clothing or similar.
Place the cuff on the inside of your wrist.
• Close the cuff with the hook-and-loop fastener so that
the upper edge of the device is positioned approx.
1 cm underneath the heel of the hand.
• The cuff must be fitted tightly around the wrist, but
must not constrict.
Blood pressure may vary between the right and left arm,
which may mean that the measured blood pressure
values are different. Always perform the measurement
on the same arm.
If the values between the two arms are significantly dif-
ferent, please consult your doctor to determine which
arm should be used for the measurement.
Adopting the correct posture
• Before the initial blood pressure measurement, make
sure always to rest for about 5 minutes. Otherwise
deviations can occur.
• You can take the measurement while sitting or lying
down. To take your blood pres-
sure, make sure you are sitting
comfortably with your arms and
back leaning on something. Do not
cross your legs. Place your feet
flat on the ground. Make sure to
rest your arm and move it. Always make sure that the
cuff is at heart level. Otherwise significant deviations
can occur. Relax your arm and the palm of your hand.
• To avoid falsifying the measurement, it is important to
remain still during the measurement and not to speak.
• Wait for at least 1 minute before taking another meas-
urement.
