tube is securely
connected to the

fit 2 fingers between
cuff and arm.

prior to measurement.
Relax your arm and push

the bottom edge is
about ½" above your
elbow. Align artery
mark and tubing to

What do my blood pressure numbers mean?
Blood pressure is determined by the circulatory center in the brain and is
made up of two numbers:
Systolic
(the first number): shows how much pressure the blood is exerting
against the artery walls as the heart contracts (pumps).
Diastolic
(the second number): shows how much pressure the blood is
exerting against the artery walls while the heart rests (between beats). In
addition to blood pressure, its important to monitor the
pulse
, or the
number of times a heart beats in a minute.

My blood pressure varies. How do I know what my true blood
pressure is?
Just as a time lapse video tells more than a snapshot, the average of
several measurements, obtained over several days under similar
conditions, is the best way to accurately determine your blood pressure.
It’s vital to measure your pressure consistently and regularly to better
manage your health. See chart below for daily variation.
