Tie The Cuff
1.Tie the cuff on your upper arm, then
position the tube off-center toward the
inner side of arm in line with the little
finger.
2. The cuff should be snug
but not too tight. You should
be able to insert one finger
between the cuff and your arm.
3. Sit comfortably with your left
arm resting on a flat surface.
Rest for 5 minutes before
measuring.
Wait at least 3 minutes
between measurements. This
allows your blood circulation to
recover.
For a meaningful comparison,
try to measure under similar
conditions. For example,
take daily measurements
at approximately the same
time, on the same arm, or as
directed by a physician.
