Remove all accessories (watch, bracelet,etc) from your wrist. If your physician has diagnosed you with
poor circulation in your wrist, use the other one.
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~2cm 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.
