• Close the cuff with the hook-and-loop fastener such that the
upper edge of the device is positioned approx. 1 cm under-
neath the heel of the hand.
• The cuff must be fitted tightly around the wrist, but must not
constrict.
Adopt the correct posture
• Before every measurement, relax for about five minutes. Oth-
erwise deviations can occur.
• You can take the measurement
while sitting or lying. To take
your blood pressure, 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. An O.K. symbol bar is integrated into
the device to additionally assist you. It signals the correct
position of the blood pressure monitor. You are in the right
position if you can see O.K. on the display.
• To avoid falsifying the measurement, it is important to remain
still during the measurement and not to speak.
