3.Using the Unit 3. Using the Unit 3.1 How to Sit Correctly When Taking a Measurement You can take a measurement on either your left or right arm. Note: • Measurements should be taken in a quiet place and you should be in a relaxed, seated position. Make sure that the room is not too hot or cold. • Do not take measurement after bathing, drinking alcohol, or exercising. • Do not move or talk during measurement. Correct Posture Sit upright with your back straight.
3.Using the Unit Notes: • Correct posture during measurement is necessary to get accurate results. • You should also try to measure your blood pressure at the same time each day. (Within 1 hour after waking up is recommended.) Incorrect Posture • Arched back (leaning forwards) • Sitting cross-legged • Sitting on a sofa or at a low table so that you lean forward These situations tend to lead to higher blood pressure values due to strain or the arm cuff being lower than the heart.
3.Using the Unit 3.2 Applying the Arm Cuff Be sure to wrap the arm cuff correctly so that you get accurate results. Measurements can be taken in light clothing. However, please remove thick clothes, such as sweaters, before taking a reading. 1. Connect the air tube of the arm cuff and the inflation bulb to their respective air connectors. 2. Put your left arm through the cuff loop. The air tube should run down the inside of your forearm and be in line with your middle finger.
3.Using the Unit 3. Position the arm correctly. 1) The air tube should run down the inside of your forearm and be in line with your middle finger. 2) The bottom of the cuff should be approximately 1 to 2 cm above your elbow. 3) Apply the cuff to your upper arm so that the coloured marker (blue arrow under tube) is centered on the middle of your inner arm and points down the inside of the arm. Taking measurements on the right arm Apply the cuff so that the air tube is at the side of your elbow.
