TAKING YOUR BP READING
Taking the measurement
1. Rest your elbow on a solid
surface with your palm
facing upward. Elevate
your arm so that the cuff is
at the same level as your
heart, Fig 1. Be certain
that cuff is elevated to the
proper level; you may
choose to support your
hand with a folded towel or
book. Relax your left hand. Be
seated with your feet flat on the
floor and legs uncrossed.
2. Press and release the START/
STOP button, the unit will run a
self-test, Fig. 2.
3. As the inflation begins, the
display will briefly show 0.
4. The cuff will automatically inflate
until the reading is detected. You
will see the numbers increase on
the screen and feel the cuff inflate
slowly.
