6 Applying the cuff
Remove all jewellery.
Clothing sleeves should be rolled up and the
cuff should be wrapped on bare skin for
correct measurements. Apply the unit to your
left wrist with palm facing up.
Make sure the edge of the cuff is about 1 cm
from the palm. In order to insure accurate-
measurements.
Fasten the velcro strap securely around your wrist so there is no extra space
between the cuff and the wrist.
If the cuff is not wrapped tight enough, the measurement values will be false.
If your physician has diagnosed you with poor circulation on your left arm, place the
cuff around your right wrist.
7 Measuring posture
Relax your entire body, especially the area between your
elbow and fingers. Place your elbow on a table so that the
cuff is at the same level as your heart.
If the cuff is not at the same level as your heart or if you
can not keep your arm completely still throughout the
reading, use a soft object such as folded towel to support
your arm.
Turn your palm upwards.Sit upright in a chair, and take 5-6
deep breaths. Avoid leaning back while the measurements
being taken.
