Quick Start Guide
Using Your Digital Blood Pressure Monitor
Always consult the included Guidebook for further details and instruction
Before applying your blood pressure cuff, be sure you have selected
the appropriate size cuff:
Adult Cuff
fits arm circumference: 8-3/4” - 12-1/2” (22-32 cm)
[OPTION]
Large Adult Cuff
fits arm circumference: 12-1/2” - 16-1/2” (32-42 cm)
A 15 minute resting period is needed to stabilize
the body prior to taking a reading.
No eating, drinking or smoking while resting.
Remove any constrictive clothing or jewelry that may interfere with cuff placement. Wrap the cuff snugly around your left arm. Position the
cuff’s bottom edge one inch ABOVE the elbow joint. Position the blue mark over the main artery (on the inside of your arm). You should be
able to insert one finger between your arm and cuff.
MEASUREMENT INSTRUCTIONS
• Many factors such as genetics, age, sex, altitude, physical activity,
anxiety, muscular development, certain medications or even the
time of day can influence blood pressure.
• Blood pressure varies from moment to moment; even readings
taken after proper rest periods can vary. Home blood pressure
readings may vary as much as 10-20 points from ones taken at
your doctor’s office.
• Variations in your individual readings should only be interpreted by
your physician or trained health care professional.
• We encourage you to consult with your physician to achieve the
maximum benefit from your blood pressure monitor.
Please read the Guidebook for this monitor prior to taking your first reading.
If you have any questions or are experiencing difficulties, please call the toll-free
