4. Operating Instructions

4.1. Applying the Arm Cuff

The IntelliWrap Cuff is designed for easy and accurate placement. It can be applied to either arm.

1. Sit comfortably with your back supported and feet flat on the floor.
2. Place your arm on a table so the cuff is at heart level.
3. Wrap the cuff around your upper arm, approximately 1-2 cm above your elbow. Ensure the air tube runs down the inside of your arm.
4. The cuff should fit snugly but not too tightly. You should be able to insert two fingers between the cuff and your arm.

4.2. Taking a Measurement

1. Press the START/STOP button to turn on the monitor. The cuff will begin to inflate automatically.
2. Remain still and silent during the measurement. Avoid talking or moving.
3. Once the measurement is complete, the cuff will deflate, and your blood pressure readings (systolic, diastolic) and pulse rate will be displayed on the screen.
4. The monitor will automatically store the reading. To turn off the monitor, press the START/STOP button again, or it will automatically shut off after a few minutes of inactivity.
