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.
Applying the Cuff
1. Remove all watches, jewelry, etc.
prior to attaching the wrist monitor.
Clothing sleeves should be
rolled up and the cuff should be
wrapped on bare skin for
correct measurements.
2. Apply cuff to left wrist with palm
facing up as Fig. A.
3. Make sure the edge of the cuff
is about 1 cm from the palm as
Fig. B.
4. In order to insure accurate
measurements,
fasten the velcro
strap securely
around your wrist
so there is no extra space between
the cuff and the wrist as Fig. C.
If the cuff is not wrapped tight
enough, the measurement values
may be false.
5. If your doctor has diagnosed
you with poor circulation on your
left arm, carefully place the cuff
around your right wrist as shown
in Fig. D.
