Using The Monitor

Attaching The Arm Cuff

1. Wrap the cuff around the upper arm,

about 2 - 3 cm above the elbow, as
shown. Place the cuff directly against the
skin, as clothing may cause a faint pulse
and result in a measurement error.

2. Constriction of the upper arm, caused

by rolling up a shirtsleeve, may prevent
accurate readings.

3. Confirm that the index points within

the proper fit range.

How To Take Proper Measurements

For the most accurate blood pressure
measurement:
Sit comfortably at a table.
Rest your arm on the table.
Relax for about five to ten minutes
before measurement.
Place the center of the cuff at the same height as your heart.
Remain still and keep quiet during measurement.
Do not measure right after physical exercise or a bath. Rest for twenty or
thirty minutes before taking the measurement.
Try to measure your blood pressure at the same time every day.
