table. Place the cuﬀ at heart level by

placing the forearm case or a folded

Pressure measurement while lying.

Place the cuﬀ at heart level, using a

case or a folded towel (ﬁ g.6).

The results of measurements can vary slightly depending on the posture during the measurement.

If the cuﬀ is

below (above) in relation to the heart, the measurements will be overstated (understated).

WRAPPING THE CUFF

Fig.7

1 Put the cuﬀ on your left arm with AIR HOSE positioned

toward your hand. (ﬁ g.7). You may use your right upper arm for

measurement (the results of measurements can slightly).

Fig.8

Attach the cuﬀ with hook and loop fastener with the lower edge

of the cuﬀ approximately 2 to 3 cm above the inner elbow. Adjust the

position of the cuﬀ so that AIR HOSE is over the inner part of your arm

over the brachial artery

(ﬁ g.8)

Fig.9

3 Press the surface of the cuﬀ to make sure that the hook & loop

fastens securely (ﬁ g.9). If the cuﬀ is wrapped tightly or loosely,

inaccurate blood pressure readings may result.
