TESTING GUIDELINES
1. Insert the cuff plug into the cuff socket to the main unit. (the le side of the unit)
2. Fit the cuff to the upper arm with the direcon mark at the inner side.
3. Wrap the cuff:
• The boom edge of the cuff should be 1-2cm (0.4 - 0.8 inches) above
the elbow, Fig. 1.
• Wrap the cuff with a gap of 1 or 2 fingers. Be careful that the cuff is not
too ght.
• Close the Velcro fastener firmly.
The blood pressure can differ between the right arm and the le arm, and the measured blood
pressure values can be different. Obbomed recommends always using the same arm for measurement.
1-2cm (0.4-0.8 inches)

1. Carry out the measurement whilst comfortably seated.
2. The cuff should be at the same level as your heart, Fig. 2.

previous measurement, "0" is shown, Fig. 5.
4. The monitor will begin to guide you with voice prompts if the voice
funcon is acvated.
5. The arm cuff will automacally begin to inflate to the appropriate
pressure level. And the measurement starts once the unit slowly
releases air from the cuff.
6. A beep is heard when the measurement is complete. The systolic and
diastolic blood pressure and the pulse rate with the pulse symbol
appear on the display, Fig. 6. The blood pressure indicator flashes next
to the relevant colored bar depending on the WHO blood pressure
classificaon.
If the unit has detected an irregular heartbeat, the arrhythmia
display flashes.
7. The measured values are stored automacally. A total of up to 60
measured values with me and date can be stored.
