Occurrence of
discomfort during the
recording
Inform your patient that any measurement can be immediately interrupted by
pressing any button. The interruption causes an immediate decrease in
pressure in the cuff. Events of this type should be reported to the physician no
later than after the monitoring.
Cuff incorrectly placed
Ensure correct positioning of the shoulder strap and the cuff tube. Incorrect
positioning can result in strangulation.
The physician should inform the patient that the cuff should only be worn on the
upper arm. It should be ensured in any case that neither the shoulder strap nor
the pressure tube can ever become wound around the neck. For this reason,
the air tube should always be placed under outer clothing (including at night).
Placing the cuff
It is recommended to always place the cuff over a thin item of clothing. This
helps to avoid any possible problems caused by longer periods of wear (such
as sweating or itching).
