Now bend your arm slightly, grasp the free end of the cuff, wrap it firmly
round your arm and close the hook-and-loop fastener.
The cuff should fit securely but not tightly. You should be able to insert
two fingers between the arm and the cuff. Make sure the tube is not bent
or damaged.
Important: It is essential that the cuff is correctly applied to obtain correct
measurements. The cuff included with the monitor is a universal cuff for
upper arm circumferences of 22 cm to 42 cm. The white arrow must point
to an area within the sizing scale. If it is outside that range, it is not possi-
ble to guarantee a correct measurement.
This innovative Veroval
comfortable measurement. Inflation to 190 mmHg is required for the first
measurement. For subsequent measurements, inflation pressure is adjust-
ed individually based on previously measured blood pressure values. This
allows for comfortable upper arm measurements.
Carrying out the measurement
You should take your blood pressure in a quiet place, in a relaxed and comfort-
able seated position.
Measurement can be taken on the right or left arm. We recommend you perform
the measurement on the left upper arm. Over the long term, the arm giving
higher readings should be used for blood pressure monitoring. However, if there
is a very clear difference between readings on either arm, you need to check
with your doctor which arm you should use for the measurement.
Always measure on the same arm and place your forearm in a relaxed position
on a support.
We recommend that you measure your blood pressure while sitting with your
back supported by the back of the chair. Place both feet flat on the floor next
to each other. Do not cross your legs. Relax your forearm and hand with your
palm facing upwards on a support and make sure the cuff is at the height of
your heart.
Do not take your blood pressure after taking a bath or playing sport.
Do not eat, drink or exercise for at least 30 minutes before the measurement.
Please wait for at least one minute between two measurements.
