Taking a Blood Pressure Measurement
z
Once the cuff is properly applied and you are seated with your
feet flat on the floor you are ready to take a measurement.
z
Press the “
” button, the monitor will automatically inflate to the
level that is right for you.
z
You will feel the cuff get tighter around your wrist – this is normal.
It should not inflate to the point of discomfort. If this occurs, the
cuff is secured too tightly. Press “ ” and rewrap the cuff
leaving more room between your wrist and the cuff.
z
Numbers will appear on the digital display. This is the normal
process the monitor goes through to determine your blood
pressure. Don’t be alarmed if you notice the numbers quickly
change, or go higher than you believe your blood pressure to be.
