Choosing the connector
Check your blood pressure monitor to select the compatible cuff connector (listed on the quick indication card) correctly! Using an incompatible connector may cause air leakage, measurement error, and/or incorrect readings.

For blood pressure monitors that have a blue, light blue or brown coloured cuff socket on the device, use the Connector with the blue connector pin.
Connect the cuff to the device by inserting the cuff connector into the cuff socket as far as it will go.
Make sure the cuff connector is securely inserted into the cuff socket of your blood pressure monitor. A distinct «CLICK» must be heard when fully inserted. A loose connection will result in inaccurate readings, and/or error messages.
