Before using WatchBP Ofce AFIB
Selecting the correct cuff
Two different cuff sizes are provided with the
WatchBP Ofce AFIB: Medium and Large. Use the cuff
marker to select the cuff size that best matches the
circumference of the patient’s upper arm.
Fitting the cuff properly
1) Place the cuff over the left (right) upper arm so
that the air tube and artery mark arrow point
toward the lower arm.
2) Lay the cuff on the arm. Make sure that the lower
edge of the cuff lies approximately 2 to 3cm ( ¾
to 1 inch) above the elbow.
Connect the cuff to the device by inserting the cuff
connector into the cuff connector socket.

2-3 cm
(3/4 to 1 inch)

3) Wrap and tighten the cuff around the arm.
4) Leave a little free space between the arm of
the patient and the cuff. It has to be able to t 2
ngers between the arm and the cuff. Clothing
must not restrict the arm. Remove all clothing
covering or constricting the measurement arm.
5) It may result in incorrect blood pressure readings
if the cuffs are not t properly. Use a different size
cuff if the range Index at the end of the cuff does
not fall into the range specied by the range
stripes.
6) Apply the same steps to the other arm if a double
arm measurement is required.
* The range index of cuff should
be fallen into this range.

automatically takes two consecutive measurements
at default 15 seconds interval. The readings of these
two measurements are averaged to produce the
routine visit blood pressure measurement.

Simultaneous dual-arm measurements
In «SCREEN» Mode, the WatchBP Ofce AFIB device
measures the patient’s blood pressure on both
arms simultaneously, which helps to determine the
arm with the highest blood pressure value and reveal
other potential cardiovascular risks.
«SCREEN» Mode
Select «SCREEN» Mode to complete a fully-
automated triple measurements on both arms
according to recommended ESH/AHA blood
pressure measurement protocols for a patient’s

Determine the proper arm and to indicate inter-
arm difference
If the difference of blood pressure readings between
two arms are more than 20mmHg for Systolic or
10mmHg for Diastolic at all three measurements,
the device indicates the arm with the higher blood
pressure value by showing L or R and the “IAD” icon.
The “IAD” icon and readings of the higher arm ash.
*The arm with the higher blood pressure value should be taken
for future blood pressure measurements..
