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 two 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.

4.4. Measuring procedure

4.4.1. Put the chestpiece under the cuff

The chestpiece shall not be placed ON or INTO the cuff, it shall be

placed either under the cuff, or 1 - 2 cm below it. The chest piece

is then placed correctly , when the Korrot koff’s sound appears

strongest (‘loudest’). Make sure the chestpiece is in contact with

skin and above the brachial artery. Wear the binaural (earpieces)

properly to check the Korotkoff’s sound during measurement.

Before using the stethoscope, be sure there is no crack on the

diaphragm, earpieces, and tubing. Any improper setup or damage

of the stethoscope will cause distorted sound or poor sound

transmission to make inaccurate reading.
