In order to carry out a blood pressure measurement called the app and after a short time the invitation smartphone via Bluetooth will be connected to the Quardioarm. The Quardioarm is powered by 4 AAA batteries and activated in conjunction with the app automatically. By default, a personalized measurement is provided. There is also a visitor mode that does not store the measurement in the course. The Bluetooth activation, a round green Start button appears. The Quardioarmmanschette unroll and directly above the flexor create the (left) arm so that the Quardioschriftzug pointing downwards. By pressing START, the cuff inflated within about 15 seconds with moderate (not unpleasant) pressure. At the same time, this process can be followed on the smartphone.
