Before you start measuring
Positioning the Cuff
1.
Remove all accessories (watch, bracelet, etc) from your left wrist. If your physician has diagnosed you with poor circulation in your left
wrist, use your right wrist
.
2. Roll or push up your sleeve to expose the skin.
3. Apply the cuff to your left wrist with your palm facing up.
4.
Position the edge of the cuff about 1-2 cm
.
5. Fasten the wrist cuff around your wrist, leaving no extra room between the cuff and your skin. If the cuff is too loose, the measurement
will not be accurate
.
6.
The middle of the cuff should be at the level of the heart; Before starting measurement, please sit comfortably with legs uncrossed, feet
flat on the floor, back and arm supported
.
Resting 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 wrist, or as directed by a physician.
