Proper use of the unit
Fitting the Cuff
1. Put the cuff on a table flatly with the velcro side down.
Pass the end of the cuff through the metal loop so that a
circle is formed. The velcro closer will now be facing
outwards (ignore this step if the cuff has already been
prepared).
2. Push the cuff over the left upper arm so that the tube
points in the direction of the lower arm.
3. Wrap the cuff on the arm as illustrated. Make certain
that the lower edge of the cuff lies approximately 2 to 3
cm above the elbow and the rubber tube leaves the cuff
on the inner side of the arm.
4. Tighten the free end of the cuff and close the cuff by
affixing the velcro.
5. The cuff should be snug on your upper arm so that
you can fit 2 fingers between the cuff and your upper
arm. Any piece of clothing restricts the arm which must
be taken off.
6. Secure the cuff with the velcro closer in such a way
that it lies comfortably and not too tight. Lay your arm on
a table (palm upwards) so that the cuff is at the same
height as the heart. Do not bend the tube.
Note:
If it is not possible to fit the cuff to your left arm, it can
also be placed on the right. However, all measurements
should be made using the same arm.
