9. Take measurements
regularly. Even if your
values have improved,
you should continue to
check them for moni-
toring purposes.

Applying the cuff

Before applying the cuff, insert the cuff socket into the connector socket on
the left side of the monitor.
Do not mechanically constrict, compress or bend the cuff tube.
The blood pressure must be measured on a bare upper arm. If the cuff is com-
pletely open, thread the end of the cuff through the metal ring to form a loop.
The hook-and-loop fastener must face outwards. Hold the cuff by the grip tab
A (see Fig. 1) and pull it over the upper arm.
A
The opening B (see Fig. 2) on the cuff, opposite the grip tab, should lie in the
inner elbow. The tube should lie in the middle of the inner elbow and point
towards the hand.

10. Always take meas-
urements at the same
time of day. Because
a person has about
100,000 different
blood pressure values
every day, individual
measurements are
not meaningful. Only
regular measurements
taken at the same time
each day over a longer
period of time give a
meaningful assessment
of blood pressure
values.
