3. Using the Unit
6.
When the cuff is positioned
correctly, close the fabric
fastener FIRMLY.
Notes:
• Make certain the cuff fits snugly around your arm.
• The cuff should make good contact with your skin. You
should be able to fit your index finger between the cuff
and your arm easily, so you can pull the cuff off and on.
• Make sure that there are no kinks in the air tubing.
Taking measurements on the right arm
Please note the following
points when applying the
cuff to your right arm. Apply
the cuff so that the air tube is
at the side of your elbow.
Notes:
• Be careful not to rest your
arm on the air tube as it
will restrict the flow of air
to the cuff.
• Apply the arm cuff so that
no part of the cuff is
positioned over the elbow
joint. The cuff should be 1 to 2 cm above the elbow.
• If used 2 times per day, the cuff will last for 3 years.
• The blood pressure can differ between the right arm and
the left arm, and therefore also the measured blood
pressure values can be different. Omron recommends to
always use the same arm for measurement. If the values
between the two arms differ substantially, please check
with your doctor which arm to use for your measurement.
