cal Products Law (CE), as well as to the European
Standard „Europanorm" EN 1060, Part 1 „Non-
Invasive blood pressure monitoring devices –
General requirements" and part 2 „Additiona

countries.
Important:
Keep this unit from being knocked or dropped, and
protect it from dirt and moisture. Care has to be
taken not to puncture the cuff with any sharp
instruments (Scissors, Needles).
Do not inflate to above 300 mmHg !
Measurement time should be ca. 2 minutes
maximum.
Between 2 measurements allow an interval of at
least 2 minutes.
Placing the Cuff:
Place cuff in such a manner that the lower cuff
edge finishes ca. 2 – 3 cm above the elbow and
the centre of the rubber bag rests on top of the
artery.
Taking the Blood Pressure:
Inflate the cuff to above the systolic pressure. The
air release speed can be adjusted by rotating the
valve screw.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) recom-
mends a deflation speed of 2 – 3 mmHg per
second.
After the measurement is completed, fully open the
ai release valve to allow for the fast deflation of
the cuff.
