Using the Monitor
Applying the Arm Cuff
1. Wrap the cuff around the upper arm,
about 1-2 cm above the inside of
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 tightly 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 on a chair. Rest your arm on the table. Do not cross your
legs. Keep your feet on the floor and straighten your back.
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 immediately 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.
Measurement
During measurement, it is normal for the cuff to feel very tight. (Do not be
alarmed)
After Measurement
After measurement, press the START button to turn off the power.
Remove the cuff and record your data.
Note: The device has an automatic power shut-off function, which turns the
power off approximately one minute after measurement.
Allow at least three minutes between measurements on the same person.
