Remove all accessories (watch, bracelet,etc) from your wrist. If your
physician has diagnosed you with poor circulation in one wrist, use the
other wrist for blood pressure measurement.
Roll or push up your sleeve to expose the skin.
Apply the cuff to your wrist with your palm facing up.
Position the edge of the cuff about 1cm~1.5cm from wrist joints.
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.
Sit comfortably with your tested wrist resting on a flat surface. Place
your elbow on a table so that the cuff is at the same level as your
heart. Turn your palm upwards. Sit upright in a chair, and take 5-6
deep breaths.
Patients with Hypertension:
The middle of the cuff should be at the level of the right atrium of the
heart; Before starting measurement, please sit comfortably with legs
uncrossed, feet flat on the floor, back and wrist supported.
Rest for 5 minutes before measuring.
Wait at least 3 minutes between measurements. This allows your blood
circulation to recover.
The patient must relax as much as possible and do not move and talk
during the measurement procedure.
For a meaningful comparison, try to measure under similar conditions.
For example, take daily measurements at approximately the same time,
on the same wrist, or as directed by a physician.
