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.
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 ten minutes between measurements on the same person.
