Secure cuff by attaching the hook and loop adhesive. The cuff should be
snug
, but not tight. One finger should be able to slide easily between cuff
and arm. Check to be sure the cuff is the correct size for your arm. When
properly snug, the white Index line should fall between the “
OK
” lines
printed on the cuff. If the
Index line
does not fall between the
“
OK
”
lines
you will need to order a larger or smaller cuff. Refer to page 19 of this
booklet for information on ordering other cuff sizes.
C. Correct Measuring Posture
Correct measuring posture is essential to accurate
measurement of your blood pressure.
1.
Sit comfortably in a chair with the measurement arm resting flat on
a surface so that the center of your arm is at about the same height
as your heart.
Note:
If the arm is above heart level you may obtain lower
than ”normal“ readings. Conversely, if it is below heart level,
you may obtain elevated readings.
2.
Sit upright with feet resting on the floor surface. Do not lean forward
or backward during measurement.
3.
Relax for five to ten minutes before
measurement to stabilize your pressure.
