Fitting The Cuff - Riester ri-champion N Manual Del Usario

• Cuffs that are too narrow or too short result in false measure-
ment values. Selecting the correct cuff is of extraordinary
importance. The cuff size is dependent upon the circumferen-
ce of the arm (measured in the centre). The permissible range
is printed on the cuff. If this is not suitable for your use, please
contact your dealer.
Note: Only use clinically approved Original-Cuffs!
• A loose cuff or a sideways protruding air-pocket causes false
measurement values.

5.3. Fitting the cuff

a) Push the cuff over the left upper arm
so that the tube points in the direction
of the lower arm.
b) Lay 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 that the rubber
tube leaves the cuff on the inner side
of the arm.
Important! The mark
over the artery which runs down the inner
side of the arm.
c) Tighten the free end of the cuff and
close the cuff with the closer.
d) There must be no free space between
the arm and the cuff as this would
influence the result. Clothing must not
restrict the arm. Any piece of clothing
which does (e.g. a pullover) must be
taken off.
e) Secure the cuff with the Velcro closer
in such a way that it lies comfortably
and is not too tight. Lay the arm on the
table (palm upwards) so that the cuff is
at the same height as the heart. Make
sure that the tube is not kinked.
