the wrist which usually shows higher blood pressure values.
4. Remove any items of clothing and your watch, for example, so
that your wrist is free.
5. Always ensure that the cuff is positioned correctly, as shown in the
pictures illustrated on the short instruction card.
6. Fit the cuff comfortably but not too tight. The cuff will cover a wrist
circumference of 13.5 - 21.5 cm (5.25 - 8.5 inches).

in a relaxed position with the device at the same height as your

move and do not tense your arm muscles until the measurement
