pressure readings
Attach the clean cuff to the left wrist which is
free from clothing with the palm of the hand
facing upwards.
There should be a gap of approx. 1 cm between
the cuff and the palm of the hand.
Press the Velcro tape firmly around the wrist
ensuring that it is not so tight that it could falsify
the measured result.
• Carry out the measurement whilst
seated.
• Relax your arm and place it comfortably,
on a table for instance.
• Lift the wrist so that the pressure
cuff is at heart height.
• Keep still during the measurement:
do not move and do not talk as
this may alter the measurements.

4. The unit is ready for measurement, the number 0 is displayed, the start of
measurement will be announced if the language function is switched on.
It automatically inflates the cuff slowly in order to measure your blood
pressure. The pressure on the display changes continuously during the time
it continues to inflate.
5. The unit inflates the cuff until sufficient pressure has built up for a measu-
rement. Then the unit slowly releases air from the cuff and carries out the
measurement.
