Hold your arm with your palm facing up and
tie
the cuff on your upper arm, then position the
tube off-center toward the inner side of arm in
line with the little finger. Or position the
artery mark over the main artery (on the
inside of your arm). Note: Locate the main
artery by pressing with 2 fingers approximately
2 cm above the bend of your elbow on the inside
of your left arm. Identify where the pulse can be felt
the strongest. This is your main artery.
The cuff should be snug but not too tight. You should be able
to insert one finger between the cuff and your arm.
Remove all jewelry, such as watches and
bracelets from your left arm.
Note: If your doctor has diagnosed you with
poor circulation in your left arm, use your right
arm.
Roll or push up your sleeve to expose the skin.
Make sure your sleeve is not too tight.

Sit comfortably with your tested arm 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.
Rest for 5 minutes before first 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 arm, or as directed by a physician.

Take the measurement in a silent room.
The cuff should maintain at the same level as
the right atrium of the heart.
Please sit comfortably. Do not cross your
legs and keep your feet flat on the ground.
Keep your back against the backrest of the chair.
