Operating the unit
3. Attaching the cuff
• Expose the upper arm.
• Push the cuff onto the arm until the lower edge
of the cuff is 2-3 cm above the crook of the arm
(Fig. 1).
• When using the unit on the left arm the air hose
runs to the unit through the middle of the crook
of the arm so that the 4 cm long artery marking is
located centrally above the pulse position (Fig. 2).
• When using the unit on the right arm the cuff
must be rotated to the left until the artery marking
is on the pulse position. The air hose then runs
along the inner side of the upper arm.
• The cuff should be tightened to such an extent that
2 fingers can still be inserted between arm and
cuff. Tip:
– Angle the arm slightly
– The upper arm muscle is tensioned slightly
– This increases the circumference of the arm
slightly
• Check whether the arrow on the cuff is within the
white marking for the arm circumference.
• Now pull the free cuff end tight and flip it back
tightly above the Velcro fastener.
