2 to 3 cm above the elbow and that the tube leaves the

cuff on the inner side of the arm.

Important! The mark (ca. 3 cm long bar) must lie exactly

over the artery which runs down the inner side of the arm.

c) Tighten the free end of the cuff and close the cuff with

the closer.

d) There must be no free space between the arm and the

cuff as this would influence the result. Clothing must not

restrict the arm. Any piece of clothing which does (e.g. a

pullover) must be taken off.

e) Secure the cuff with the closer in such a way that it lies

comfortably and is not too tight. Lay the arm on the table

(palm upwards) so that the cuff is at the same height as

the heart. Make sure that the tube is not kinked.

f) Remain seated quietly for 2 minutes before you begin the

measurement.

Comment:

If it is not possible to fit the cuff to the left arm, it can also be placed on the right one. However

all measurements should be made using the same arm.
