3. Lay the cuff on the arm as illustrated. Make
certain that the lower edge of the cuff lies
approximately 2 to 3 cm (
3
/
4~1
") above the
elbow and that the rubber tube leaves the cuff
on the inner side of the arm.
Important! The mark (about 3 cm long bar)
must lie exactly over the artery which runs
down the inner side of the arm.
4. Tighten the free end of the cuff and close the
cuff with the closer.
5. There must be no free space between the arm
and the cuff as this would influence the result.
Clothing must not restrict the arm. Any piece of
clothing which does (e.g. a pullover) must be
taken off.
6. Secure the cuff with the Velcro closer in such a
way that it lies comfortably and is not too tight.
Lay the arm on the table (palm upwards) so
that the cuff is at the same height as the heart.
Make sure that the tube is not kinked.
7. Remain seated quietly for two minutes before
you begin the measurement.
COMMENT:
If it is not possible to fit the cuff to the left arm, it can also be placed on the right arm.
However all measurements should be made using the same arm for better cross reference.
A FEW SUGGESTIONS BEFORE MEASUREMENT
1. Avoid eating, smoking, and exercising for at least 30 minutes before taking a measurement.
Also rest for at least 15 minutes before taking a reading.
2. Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements during stressful
times.
3. You would better apply the cuff on your left upper arm.
4. Measurement should be taken in a quiet place and you should be relaxed, seated position.
Rest your left arm on a table.
5. Remain still and do not talk during the measurement.
6. Keep a record of your blood pressure and pulse for your doctor. Remember, a single
measurement does not provide an accurate indication of your true blood pressure. You
need to take and record several measurements over a period of time. Try to measure
your blood pressure at the same time each day for consistency. Blood pressure
measurements fluctuate considerably.
7. Wait 5-10 minutes between successive measurements.
Waiting allows the engorged blood
vessels to return to normal. You may require more rest time depending on your individual
physical conditions.
HOW TO MEASURE BLOOD PRESSURE
1. Set up the cuff to your upper arm as previous section of "How to use the upper arm cuff".
2. Press the "POWER" button, all icons appear two seconds on DISPLAY, then switch to
measurement mode,and display "0" or last measurement record.
3. Press "START" button to start measurement, the cuff in the strap will automatically inflate.
When the value on LCD increases to around 150-200 (mmHg), and start to release the
air, and
decrease pressure in the cuff automatically when it senses the heart beat, the
mark ( )
will flash on LCD.
