Always take your blood pressure on the



same arm (normally the left one). It is

recommended that doctors perform double

arm measurements on a patient's first visit in

order to determine which arm to measure in

the future. Select the arm where the higher

blood pressure was determined.

 R emove 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 (please take off any

heavy clothing, as it interferes with the signal).

 A lways ensure that the correct cuff size is

used (see on the cuff for size information).

· Fit the cuff closely, but not too tight.

· Make sure that the cuff is positioned 2.5 cm

above the crook of the arm.

· The artery mark on the cuff (approx. 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

If, however, the cuff signal and pressure are

absolutely too low for measuring or if there

are excessive interferences (e. g. due to the

patient moving, tensing their muscles or

talking, etc.), an error message «ERR» (Error)
