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.

but should not constrict it.
Correct posture
•
Rest for approx. 5 minutes before
each measurement. Otherwise there
may be divergences.
•
You can perform the measurement
either sitting or lying down. It is es-
sential to support your arm and have
it at an angle. Always make sure
that the cuff is level with your heart.
Otherwise there may be serious divergences. Relax
your arm and the palms of your hands.
•
In order not to distort the result, it is important to keep still
during the measurement and not talk.
Select memory
Switch on the blood pressure monitor with the „
“ button.
Select the required memory space by pressing the function
key „+“ . You have two memories (60 memory spaces each) in
order to save the test results of 2 different people separately,
or else save measurements in the morning and evening sepa-
rately.
Measuring blood pressure
•
Put on the cuff as described previously and assume the po-
sition in which you want to carry out the measurement.
•
Using the buttons „ “, select the user memory 1or 2.
Start
the measurement process by pressing button „ “.
After
checking the display with all digits lighting up, the monitor
will automatically inflate. Following the self-test, during which
all display elements briefly appear, the measurement begins.
During inflation the device already determines measured
values used to estimate the required inflation pressure. If this
pressure is insufficient, the device automatically inflates by
another.
•
Then the pressure in the cuff is slowly released and the pulse
is measured.
•
When the measurement has been completed, the remain ing
air pressure is released very quickly. The pulse, the systolic
and the diastolic blood pressure are displayed.
•
You can interrupt measurement at any time by pressing the
button „ “.
