c) Tighten the free end of the cuff and close the cuff with
the closer.
d) There must be no free space between the arm and the
cuff as this would influence the result. Clothing must not
restrict the arm. Any piece of clothing which does (e.g. a
pullover) must be taken off.
e) Secure the cuff with the closer in such a way that it lies
comfortably and is not too tight. Lay your arm on a table
(palm upwards) so that the cuff is at the same height as
the heart. Make sure that the tube is not kinked.
Note:
If it is not possible to fit the cuff to your left arm, it can
also be placed on the right one. However, all measure-
ments should be made using the same arm.
5.4.Measuring procedure
After the cuff has been appropriately positioned, the measurement can begin:
a) Press the O/I button. Make sure the tube is properly
attached to the instrument. The following appears in the
display for 2 seconds: (Diag.). A short be-be-beep follows
to indicate that the instrument has equilibrated with the
pressure of the surroundings and the measurement can
therefore begin. A «0» is shown in the display.
b) Grasp the handle and bulb with your free hand and inflate the
cuff to a pressure at least 40 mmHg higher than the expected
systolic pressure. If you do not know the value of this
pressure, inflate to a value of approximately 160–180 mmHg.
The cuff pressure is shown continuously on the LCD.
c) After the inflation process remain in a quiet and relaxed sitting
position.The measurement now proceeds on its own. If no mea-
surement takes place and all that appears in the display is a
flashing, upwards pointing arrow, see below under «Inflate
further». When the instrument detects a pulse, a heart symbol in
the display starts to flash.
d) A longer beep is sounded when the measurement has been
completed. The systolic, and diastolic blood pressures and pulse
rate now appear in the display.
At the same time, the cuff pressure will be automatically
released by the quick release valve of the device.
