Positioning Cuff - Beurer BM 58 Manual De Instrucciones

CAUTION:
• Remove any kind of upper arm jewelry or the like before
taking a measurement. This could cause bruises.
• Do not place the arm cuff over heavy clothing (e.g. a jacket
or sweater sleeve) as the blood pressure monitor will not
be able to take a proper measurement and there is an el-
evated danger of acquiring hematoma or skin marks dur-
ing the course of the measurement.
• In case the cuff does not stop inflating, interrupt the mea-
surement by pressing the START/STOP button or push
the touch screen activation switch to OFF and open the
cuff at once.
• When applying the arm cuff, make sure there are no wrin-
kles in the cuff. This could cause bruises.
• Do not exert any kind of pressure on the tube during mea-
surement, e.g. laying your arms or any other object on the
tube. This could cause incorrect measurements.
• Blood pressure measurements can lead to temporary
marks on the skin at the site of the cuff placement. This is
especially the case in high repetition rates, in hypertonic
patients and in patients with weak pulses. In rare cases
a mark may persist for a couple of days. Please contact
your physician about these specific risks of cuff pressure
in your specific case.
• For hygienic reasons the cuff is intended only for the use
by one person.

6.1 Positioning cuff

Note: Select cuff according to section "4.2 Cuff Selection".
Always properly position the Arm Cuff on the arm at heart
level, according to the following instructions.
Fit the cuff round your bare left
upper arm. Do not place the arm
cuff over heavy clothing (e.g. a
jacket or sweater sleeve) as the
blood pressure monitor will not be
able to take a proper measurement.
Blood circulation in the arm should
not be restricted by tight clothing
or other objects.
The cuff should be placed on the
upper arm so that the lower edge
is 0.8" to 1.2" (2 to 3 cm) above the
bend of the elbow and above the
artery. The tube should be in line
with the centre of the palm.
Now place the free end of the cuff
snugly, but not too tightly, around
the arm, and fix it with the Velcro
fastener. The cuff should be fitted
tight enough to allow just two fin-
gers to fit beneath the cuff.
