Measuring Blood Pressure - Beurer BM 55 Mode D'emploi

• Insert the mains part into the connection provided for this
purpose on the blood pressure monitor. The mains part must
only be connected to the mains voltage that is specified on
the type plate.
• Then insert the mains plug of the mains part into the mains
socket.

5. Measuring blood pressure

Please ensure the device is at room temperature before meas-
uring.
The measurement can be performed on the left or right arm.
Positioning cuff
Place the cuff onto the bare upper arm.
The circulation of the arm must not be
hindered by tight clothing or similar.
The cuff should be placed on the
upper
arm so that the lower edge is 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 hook and loop
fastener. The cuff should be fitted tight
enough to allow just two fingers to fit
beneath the cuff. Insert the cuff tubing
into the socket for the cuff attachment.
Now insert the cuff line into the
connection for the cuff connector.
This cuff is suitable for you if the
index mark ( ) is within the OK
range after fitting the cuff on the
upper arm.
If the measurement is performed on the right upper arm,
the line should be located on the inside of your elbow. En-
sure that your arm is not pressing on the line.
Blood pressure may vary between the right and left arm, which
may mean that the measured blood pressure values are differ-
ent. Always perform the measurement on the same arm.
If the values between the two arms are significantly different,
please consult your doctor to determine which arm should be
used for the measurement.
Important: The unit may only be operated with the original cuff.
The cuff is suitable for an arm circumference of 22 to 42 cm.
