4.1 Before Measurement
- Avoid eating, drinking alcohol, smoking, exercising, and bathing for 30 minutes before measurement.
- Rest for at least 15 minutes before taking a measurement.
- Sit in a comfortable position with your back supported and feet flat on the floor.
- Place your arm on a flat surface so the cuff is at heart level.
- Do not talk or move during the measurement.
4.2 Applying the Cuff
Wrap the cuff firmly around your bare upper arm, approximately 1-2 cm above the elbow joint. Ensure the air tube runs down the center of your arm in line with your middle finger. The cuff should be snug but not too tight. The cuff detection feature will help confirm correct placement.
