The cuff should fi t fi rmly, but not tightly. Please note that
incorrect positioning of the cuff may produce an incorrect
measurement. Use the Veroval
approved cuff supplied. It has a cuff circumference of 12.5 -
21 cm. Using a Veroval
is recommended for wrist circumferences larger than that,
because the accuracy of the blood pressure readings cannot be
guaranteed otherwise.
This innovative Veroval
ensures comfortable measurement. Infl ation to 190 mmHg is
required for the fi rst measurement. For subsequent
measurements, infl ation pressure is adjusted individually based
on the blood pressure values recorded previously. This allows for
more comfortable measurements.
Taking the measurement
■ Rest for approx. 5 minutes before taking the measurement.
■ You should take your blood pressure in a quiet place, in a relaxed and
comfortable seated position.

■ Measurement can be taken on the right or left wrist. We recommend
performing the measurement on the left wrist. Over the long term,
the wrist giving higher readings should be used for blood pressure
monitoring. However, if there is a very clear difference between
readings on either wrist, you need to check with your doctor which
wrist you should use for the measurement.
■ Always take measurements on the same wrist.
■ Take measurements on a bare wrist and while sitting upright.
■ We recommend that you measure your blood pressure while sitting
with your back against the back of the chair. Place both feet fl at on
the fl oor next to each other. Do not cross your legs. Be sure to support
your arm and bend it. Always ensure that the
cuff is positioned at the level of the heart. If not,
measurements may vary considerably. Relax your
arm and the palm of your hand.
■ Do not measure your blood pressure after taking
a bath or playing sport.
