Applying the Arm Cuff

1. Wrap the cuff around the upper

arm, about 1-2 cm above the

inside of the elbow, as shown.

Place the cuff directly against the

skin, as clothing may cause a faint

pulse, and result in a measurement

error.

2. Constriction of the upper arm, caused

by tightly rolling up a shirtsleeve, may

prevent accurate readings.

How to Take Accurate Measurements

For the most accurate blood pressure measurement:

Sit comfortably at a table. Rest your arm on the table.

Relax for about five to ten minutes before measurement.

Place the center of the cuff at the same level as your heart.

Remain still and keep quiet during measurement.

Do not measure right after physical exercise or a bath. Rest for twenty or

thirty minutes before taking the measurement.

Try to measure your blood pressure at the same time every day.

Measurement

During measurement, it is normal for the cuff to feel very tight. (Do not be

alarmed).

After Measurement

After measurement, press the START button to turn the device off. After one

minute of non-operation, the device will turn off automatically.

Remove the cuff and record your data.

Note: Allow at least three minutes between measurements on the same person.

Using the Monitor

Set the

arm or in line with the ring finger on the

inside of the arm.
