Positioning cuff
• Bare your left wrist, making sure that the circulation in the
arm is not restricted by any clothes etc. that are too tight.
Position the cuff on the inside of your wrist.
• Fasten the cuff with the Velcro fastening so that the upper
edge of the monitor is positioned approx. 1 cm below the
ball of your thumb.
• The cuff has to be fitted tightly around the wrist but should
not constrict it.
Correct posture
• Rest for approx. 5 minutes before each measurement. Other-
wise there may be divergences.

while sitting or lying. To carry out a
blood pressure measurement, make

your arms and back leaning on some-

your feet flat on the ground. Make sure to rest your arm and
move it. Always make sure that the cuff is at heart level.
