Applying the Cuff to Your Wrist
Applying the Cuff to Your Wrist
* The cuff needs to be wrapped around
your bare wrist. Make sure to rollup
your sleeve or remove any clothing or
jewelry that is covering your wrist. If
rolling up a sleeve, make sure this
does not constrict blood circulation in
your arm.
* Wrap the cuff around your wrist
(preferably the left) making sure it is
secure, but not too tight. The
monitor should be facing up at you.
* Place your arm on a table with your
palm facing up. It is important for
the wrist cuff to be at the same level
as your heart. You can rest your
wrist on the enclosed storage case.

Important Reminders
While taking a measurement:
* Sit still and quietly. Talking or moving may elevate
measurements.
* For consistency, it is a good idea to measure your blood
pressure around the same time each day and using the
same wrist. If possible, we suggest using the left.
* When taking multiple measurements right after each
other, make sure you have allowed at least 10 minutes
between measurements. This allows your blood vessels
to return to their normal state.
* Sit with your legs uncrossed and feet flat on the floor.
Do not touch the cuff or monitor while the measurement
is being taken.
* Keep your wrist at level with your heart.
* Relax.
