APPLYING THE CUFF
1. Remove all watches, wrist jewelry, etc. prior to
attaching the wrist monitor. Clothing sleeves should
be rolled up and the cuff should be wrapped
around bare skin for correct measurements.
2. Apply cuff to left wrist with palm
facing up as shown in Fig. A.
3. Make sure the edge of the cuff is
about 1/4”~1/2” (1 cm) from the
palm as shown in Fig. B.
4. In order to insure accurate
measurements, fasten the hook
and loop strap securely around
your wrist so there is no extra
space between the cuff and the
wrist as shown in Fig. C. If the
cuff is not wrapped tight enough,
the measurement values will not
be accurate.
5. If your physician has diagnosed
you with poor circulation in your
left arm, place the cuff around
your right wrist as shown in
Fig. D.
CORRECT MEASUREMENT POSTURE
1. Place your elbow on a table so
that the cuff is at the same level
as your heart as shown in Fig. A.
Relax your entire body, especially
between your elbow and fingers.
Note: Your heart is located slightly
below your armpit.
2. If the cuff is not at the same level
as your heart or if you cannot
keep your arm completely still
throughout the reading, use a
soft object such as a folded towel
to support your arm as shown in
Fig. B.
3. Turn your palm upwards.
