3. Taking a Blood Pressure Measure-

ment using this Device

Checklist for taking a reliable measurement

1. Avoid activity, eating or smoking immediately

before the measurement.

2. Sit down for at least 5 minutes before the

measurement and relax.

3. Always measure on the same arm (normally

left). It is recommended that doctors perform

double arm measurements on a patient's first

visit in order to determine which arm to mea-

sure in the future. The arm with the higher

blood pressure should be measured.

4. Remove close-fitting garments from the upper

arm. To avoid constriction, shirt sleeves should

not be rolled up – they do not interfere with the

cuff if they are laid flat.

5. Always ensure that the correct cuff size is used

(marking on the cuff).

• Fit the cuff closely, but not too tight.

• Make sure that the cuff is positioned 2 cm

above the elbow.

• The artery mark located on the cuff (ca. 3

cm long bar) must lie over the artery which

runs down the inner side of the arm.

• Support your arm so it is relaxed.

• Ensure that the cuff is at the same height as

your heart.
