Using the Monitor
Applying the Arm Cuff
1. Wrap the cuff around the upper
arm, about 1
-
2 cm above the
inside of the elbow, as shown.
Place the cuff directly against
the skin, as clothing may cause
a faint pulse, and result in a
measurement error.
2. Constriction of the upper arm,
caused by tightly rolling up a
shirtsleeve, may prevent
accurate readings.
3. Confirm that the index points
within the proper fit range.
How to Take Proper Measurements
For the most accurate blood pressure measurement:
Sit comfortably on a chair. Rest your arm on the table. Do not cross your legs.
Keep your feet on the floor and straighten your back.
Relax for about five to ten minutes before measurement.
Place the center of the cuff at the same height as your heart.
Remain still and keep quiet during measurement.
Do not measure right after physical exercise or a bath. Rest for twenty or thirty
minutes before taking the measurement.
Try to measure your blood pressure at the same time every day.
Measurement
During measurement, it is normal for the cuff to feel very tight. (Do not be alarmed).
After Measurement
After measurement, press the
START
button to turn the device off. After one
minute of non-operation, the device will turn off automatically.
Remove the cuff and record your data.
