Before applying your blood pressure cuff, be sure your wrist is within the
appropriate cuff range:
Wrist Circumference Range Suitable for
5-1/2” – 7-5/8” (14 – 19.5 cm)
Reminder, it is important to avoid smoking, eating, taking medication, alcohol
consumption or physical activity 30 minutes prior to taking a reading.
If for any reason you are unable to or should not use your left wrist, please
modify the instructions for cuff application to your right wrist. Your physician
can help you identify which wrist is best for you to take measurements from.
1.
Remove any constrictive clothing or jewelry that may interfere with cuff
placement.
2.
Be seated at a table or desk with your feet flat on the floor.
