Using The Monitor
Applying The Arm Cuff
1. Face the palm of the left arm upward, and
wrap the cuff around the upper arm, about
1-2 cm above the inside of the elbow.
A range where the INDEX mark can be
overlapped on the RANGE mark shows a
proper fit range for the cuff.
2. Place the cuff on the upper arm so that the
▼
mark is overlapped on the artery.
3. Wrap while keeping the looseness with the
cuff around the upper arm so that it allows
the one or two fingers to insert between
the cuff and arm.
Notes for Accurate Measurement
Let a patient sit down in a comfortable position. Confirm that a patient does
not cross the legs, patient’s legs touch on the floor and patient’s back and
arms are supported. Let a patient place the arm on a table with the palm
facing upward and the cuff at the same level as patient’s heart.
Let a patient relax for about five to ten minutes before taking a
measurement. If a patient is excited or depressed by emotional stress, the
measurement will reflect this stress as a higher (or lower) than normal
blood pressure reading and the pulse reading will usually be faster than
normal.
Measurement
During measurement, it is normal for the cuff to feel very tight. (Do not be
alarmed).
After Measurement
After measurement, press the
START
button to turn off the power.
Remove the cuff.
Note: The device has an automatic power shut-off function, which turns the
power off automatically one minute after measurement.
