TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE

Tips for Blood Pressure Monitoring:

Relax for about 5 minutes before measurement.

Do not smoke or ingest caffeine at least 30 minutes prior to

measurement.

Remove constricting clothing and place cuff on bare arm.

Unless your physician recommends otherwise, use left arm

to measure pressure.

Do not talk during measurement.

Do not cross legs and keep you feet flat on floor during measurement.

Now you are ready. Follow these simple steps:

1.

Sit comfortably in a chair near a flat surface.

2.

With palm facing upward, attach monitor to left

wrist and fasten securely. The top edge of the cuff

should align with the crease of your wrist.

3.

Position your wrist so it is level with your

heart, using an arm rest if needed. Positioning

of the wrist at heart level is critical for accurate

measurement.

4.

Designate yourself as User 1 or User 2. To

keep track of your previous blood pressure

measurements accurately, User 1 should use the

START 1 button (orange color) and User 2 should

use the START 2 button (green color).
