Positioning the Wrist Cuff
1.
Remove all accessories (watch, bracelets, etc.) from your left wrist. If your
physician has diagnosed you with poor circulation in your left arm, use your
right wrist instead.
2.
Roll or push up your sleeve to expose the skin.
3.
Apply the cuff to your left wrist with your palm facing up.
4.
Keep the monitor level with your heart.
5.
Position the edge of the cuff about 1 inch from your wrist.
6.
Fasten the wrist cuff around your wrist, leaving no extra room between the
cuff and your skin. If the cuff is too loose, the measurement will not be accurate.
• You should always rest for at least 5 minutes before measuring your blood
pressure.
• Wait at least 3 minutes between measurements. This allows your blood
circulation to recover.
• For a meaningful comparison, try to take blood pressure measurements under
similar conditions. For example, take daily measurements at approximately the
same time, on the same arm, or as directed by a physician.
6.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 to set the
[HOUR] and [MINUTE].
