It is important to avoid smoking, eating, taking medication, alcohol
consumption or physical activity 30 minutes prior to taking a reading. If
for any reason you are unable to or should not use your left arm, please
modify the instructions for cuff application to your right arm. Your
physician can help you identify which arm is best for you to take
measurements from.

The cuff should not be plugged into the monitor until after the cuff is
applied to your arm.
Position the cuff on a solid surface with the tubing facing up and
away from you. The metal ring/bar on the cuff should be to the left of
the tubing.
Open the cuff by pulling or rolling the
bottom of the cuff to the right. This should
open the cuff without fully unrolling it,
creating a cylinder. Do not fully unwrap or
unroll the cuff.
Insert your left arm into the created cuff
cylinder. Position the ( ) mark over the
main artery on the inside of your arm.
The bottom edge of the cuff should be
positioned approximately one inch above
the elbow joint.
Remove any constrictive clothing or jewelry that
may interfere with cuff placement.
Be seated at a table or desk with your feet flat
on the floor.
