To help ensure a reliable reading, avoid eating, smoking, exercising for at least
30 minutes before taking a measurement. You should also try to measure your
blood pressure at the same time each day.
1. Remove any tight-fitting clothing from your upper arm.
2. Sit on a chair with your feet flat on the floor and place your arm on a table so
that the arm cuff will be at the same level as your heart.
3. Apply the arm cuff to your upper arm.
• The cuff blue strip should be at the center of your inner arm, so that the air
tube is in line with your middle finger.
4. Secure the cuff around your arm using the velcro strip.
