5. Measuring blood pressure
Positioning cuff
• Bare your left wrist, making sure that the circulation in
the arm is not restricted by any clothes etc. that are
too tight. Position the cuff on the inside of your wrist.
• Fasten the cuff with the Velcro fastening so that the
upper edge of the monitor is positioned approx. 1 cm
below the ball of your thumb.
• The cuff has to be fitted tightly around the wristbut
should not constrict it.
Important:
The instrument should only be operated with
the original cuff.
Correct posture
• Rest for approx. 5 minutes before each measurement.
Otherwise there may be divergences.
• You can perform the measurement
while sitting or lying. To carry out a
blood pressure measurement, 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.
• In order not to distort the result, it is important to keep
still during the measurement and not talk.
Measuring blood pressure
• Switch on the blood pressure monitor with the
START
button.
• Before the measurement, the last saved test result is
briefly displayed. If there is no measurement in the mem-
ory, the instrument always displays the value .
• The cuff is pumped up to 180 mmHg. Cuff air pressure
is released slowly.
If a tendency towards high blood pressure is already
detectable, the cuff is pumped up again and cuff
pressure increased further. As soon as a heart rate is
detected, the heart rate symbol is displayed.
• Heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure are
displayed.
