Correct Measuring Posture
1. Place your elbow on a table so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart as Fig. A.
Note: Your heart is located slightly below your armpit a bit to the left of the middle of your chest.
Relax your entire body, especially the area between your elbow and fingers.
2. If the cuff is not at the same level as your heart or if you can not keep your arm completely still
throughout the reading, use a soft object such as a folded towel to support your arm as Fig. B.
Do not allow hard objects to come in contact with the wrist cuff.
3. Turn your palm upwards.
4. Sit upright in a chair, and take 5-6 deep breaths.
Avoid leaning back while the measurement is being taken as Fig. C.
Measurement Procedures
Here are a few helpful tips to help you obtain more accurate readings:
• Blood pressure recording can be affected by the position of the user, his or her physiologic
condition and other factors. For greatest accuracy, wait one hour after exercising, bathing, eating
drinking beverages with alcohol or caffeine, or smoking to measure blood pressure.
• You should not be physically tired or exhausted while taking a measurement.
• It is important that you relax during measurement. Try to take 15-minute rest before a reading.
• Do not take measurements if you are under stress or tension.
• Take your blood pressure at normal body temperature. If you are feeling cold or hot, wait a while
before taking a measurement.
• If the monitor is stored at very low temperature (near freezing), have it placed at a warm loca
-
tion for at least one hour before using it.
• Wait about 5 minutes before taking the next measurement.
1. Press the User-Switching key to select memory zone 1 or memory zone 2.
2. Place the cuff on the wrist. Press the ON/OFF/START key. All digits will light up, checking the
display functions. The checking procedure will be completed in 2 seconds.
3. After all symbols appear, the display will show a blinking "0". The monitor is ready to measure
and will "automatically" inflate the cuff to start measurement.
4. Once the measurement is complete, systolic pressure, diastolic pressure and pulse rate will be
simultaneously displayed on the screen with the date and time appearing on alternating man-
ner in every 4 second interval.
