Setting up your Blood Pressure Monitor
Putting on the Cuff
a. Place the cuff 1~2cm above the elbow joint.
Measuring can be done on light clothing such as a
shirt or blouse. However, if you have a weak
pulse, it is recommended you test on a bare arm.
Remove any tight or restrictive clothing from your
arm. For example, restriction caused by rolling up
shirt sleeve.
b. Place hand on a flat surface with the palm
facing up and with the rubber tube running
down the center of the arm.
The cuff can be cleaned by hand with warm,
soapy water. Rinse thoroughly with cold water
and towel dry.
DO NOT IRON.
d. Use your free hand to adjust the
tightness of the cuff until it is firm.
To get the correct tightness of the cuff, you should
be able to fit two fingers under the cuff.
Concerned about which arm to use?
Please refer to ‘Your first test’ on page 6.
c. Turn the cuff end outwards and tighten it
by pulling it through the metal loop and
pressing the hook surface of the cuff on
to the loop surface of the cuff.
