Additional cuffs are available for order on the included
order form or by calling 866-326-1313.
A 15 minute resting period is needed to stabilize the
body prior to taking a reading. No eating, drinking
or smoking while resting.
Applying the Arm Cuff
Remove any constrictive clothing or
jewelry that may interfere with cuff
placement. Wrap the cuff snugly
around your left arm. Position the
cuff's bottom edge one inch ABOVE
the elbow joint. Position the air tubing
over the main artery (on the inside of
your arm). You should be able to insert
one finger between your arm and cuff.

even readings taken after proper rest periods can
vary. Home blood pressure readings may vary as
much as 10-20 points from ones taken at your
doctor's office.
• Variations in your individual readings should only
be interpreted by your physician or trained health
care professional.
• We encourage you to consult with your physician
to achieve the maximum benefit from your blood
pressure monitor.
