 Try not to take your blood pressure if you are nervous or upset. If we are nervous, anxious,
or agitated our blood pressure will rise.
 Rest for 5～10 minutes before taking a reading. Sit in a comfortable, relaxed position. Don't
move around or talk while taking the blood pressure. Leave your legs in one position, breath
freely and calmly.
 The blood pressure cuff should fit over about 3/4 of your upper arm. It should easily go
around the arm and the Velcro should close tightly.
 If you can, use the same arm for every reading.
 Measuring blood pressure at the same time on different days should give about the same
reading (excluding outside influences like exercise).
 Changes in medication or nutritional supplement can alter your result. Please consult your
doctor before taking or stopping medications or supplement.
8.2. Fitting the cuff
1) Plug in the air tube connector into the main unit
2) Wrap the cuff around the upper left arm or upper right arm.
3) Tighten the cuff around the arm, make sure the cuff is approximately 2cm～3cm (1in～2in)
above the elbow.(Fig 16)
Fig 16
4) Make sure cuff air tube outlet is facing your finger. Do not over tighten. Approximate
one finger should be able to fit underneath the cuff after tightening.
5) Relax, place the elbow on the desk with palm facing up; the cuff should be level with
your heart. If the cuff doesn’t fit your arm, the reading accuracy may be affected.
 Do not bend with the cuff or the air tube.
 To detach the cuff, unplug the air tube connector from the main unit
 Do not inflate prior fitting the cuff.
 Change the cuff, if it there is a leakage or if the cuff is not working properly.
 Only use the manufacturer cuff to ensure the measurement accuracy.
8.3. Body posture during measurement
Relax, place the elbow on the desk with palm facing up; cuff should be at the heart level (Fig
17).The reading accuracy may be affected if the cuff is not fitted properly. The arm should be
at the same level of your heart. If your arm is too low, your reading will be too high. If your
arm is too high, your reading will be too low.
