• Fasten the cuff with the hook and loop fastener so that the
upper edge of the monitor is positioned approx. 1 cm below
the ball of your thumb.
• The cuff must be fitted tightly around the wrist, but must
not constrict.
Blood pressure may vary between the right and left arm, which
may mean that the measured blood pressure values are dif-
ferent. 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.
Adopt the correct posture
• Before every measurement, relax for about five minutes. Oth-
erwise deviations can occur.
• You can take the measurement while
sitting or lying. To take your blood pres-
sure, make sure you are sitting comfort-
ably with your arms and back leaning
on something. Do not cross your legs.
Place your feet flat on the ground. Make
sure to rest your arm and move it. Al-
ways make sure that the cuff is at heart level. Otherwise sig-
nificant deviations can occur. Relax your arm and the palm
of your hand.
• To avoid falsifying the measurement, it is important to remain
still during the measurement and not to speak.
