Using the Monitor
2. Fastening the cuff
1. Wrap the cuff around your wrist, about 1 cm above your hand, as shown in the
figure at the right.
2. Fasten the cuff tightly using the Velcro strip.
Note:
For proper measurements, fasten the cuff tightly and measure on a bare wrist.
3. 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.
• Raise your hand so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart.
• Remain still and keep quiet during measurement.
• Do not measure right after physical exercise or a bath.
Rest twenty or thirty minutes before taking the measurement.
• Try to measure your blood pressure at the same time every day.
4. Measurement
During measurement, it is normal for the cuff to feel very tight. (Do not be alarmed).
5. After measurement
After measurement, press the START button to turn off the monitor.
Remove the cuff and record your data.
