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.
