Now insert the cuff line into the
connection for the cuff connector.
If the measurement is performed on the right upper arm,
the line should be located on the inside of your elbow. En-
sure that your arm is not pressing on the line.
Blood pressure may vary between the right and left arm, which
may mean that the measured blood pressure values are differ-
ent. Always perform the measurement on the same arm.
If the values between the two arms are significantly different,
please consult your doctor to determine which arm should be
used for the measurement.
Important: The unit may only be operated with the original cuff.
The cuff is suitable for an arm circumference of 24 to 36 cm.
A larger cuff for upper-arm circumferences of 35 to 44 cm can
be obtained from specialist retailers or from the service ad-
dress using order number 163.387.
Correct posture
• Rest for approx. 5 minutes before each measurement. Other-
wise there may be divergences.
• You can perform the measurement either sitting or lying down.
Always make sure that the cuff is on a level with your heart.
• 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.
• In order not to distort the result, it is important to keep still
during the measurement and not talk.
Performing the blood pressure measurement
Measur
ement
As described above, attach the cuff and adopt the pos-
ture in which you want to perform the measurement.
• To start the blood pressure monitor, press
the Start/stop button . All display ele-
ments are briefly displayed.
The blood pressure monitor will begin the
measurement automatically after 3 seconds.
The cuff automatically inflates.
Measuring can be cancelled at any time by pressing
the Start/stop button .
The cuff’s air pressure is slowly released. If you already
recognise a tendency for high blood pressure, you should
reinflate the cuff and increase the cuff’s pressure again. As
soon as a pulse is found, the pulse symbol is displayed.
• Systolic pressure, diastolic pressure and
pulse measurements are displayed. The
resting indicator display (see chapter 6)
illuminates in accordance with the positive
or negative classification.
