2. Cuff Connection
Connect the air plug of the arm cuff firmly into the air jack located on the side of the main unit. Ensure a snug fit to prevent air leakage during measurement.
How to Take a Measurement
Follow these steps for an accurate blood pressure reading:
- Insert the Air Plug into Air Jack: Ensure the cuff's air plug is securely inserted into the monitor's air jack.
- Put Your Arm Through the Cuff Loop: Place your arm through the cuff loop. The bottom edge of the cuff should be 1 to 2 cm above your elbow.
- Close the Fabric Fastener FIRMLY: Wrap the cuff snugly around your upper arm. The cuff should be firm but not too tight.
- Positioning: Sit comfortably with your feet flat on the floor. Rest your arm on a table so the cuff is at heart level.
- Start Measurement: Press the START/STOP button. The cuff will inflate automatically, and the measurement will begin. Remain still and do not talk during the measurement.
- View Results: Once the measurement is complete, the cuff will deflate, and your systolic, diastolic, and pulse readings will be displayed on the screen.
