Using the Monitor
Applying 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.
How to Take Accurate Measurements
For the most accurate blood pressure measurement:
• Sit comfortably on a chair.
Rest your arm on the table.
Do not cross your legs. Keep your feet on the floor and straighten your back.
• 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 immediately after physical exercise or a bath.
Rest for twenty or thirty minutes before taking the measurement.
• Try to measure your blood pressure at about 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 the device off. Or after one minute of non-operation, the
device will turn off automatically. Remove the cuff and record your data.
Note: Allow at least three minutes between measurements on the same person.
