Cuff Placement and Body Position

• Place cuff around a bare wrist, 1-2 centimeters above the wrist joint, on the palm side of the wrist.
• The cuff should be snug but comfortable.
• Sit upright and place arm with cuffed wrist in front of your body on a flat surface with palm up. If the cuff is correctly placed, you can read the LCD display.
• Place arm on the monitor's plastic case (as shown) to help maintain a correct and still arm position that is level with the heart.
• Press START to turn on the monitor. Measurement begins automatically after several seconds. To turn off, press START again or wait 1 minute for automatic shutoff.

Helpful Tips:

• Genetics, age, sex, altitude, physical activity, stress, muscular development, certain medications, or time of day can influence blood pressure.
• Home measurements may vary 10-20 points from doctor's office readings.
• Avoid continuous readings; wait 1-15 minutes between readings for blood flow to normalize. 15 minutes is ideal.
• For consistent readings, place cuff on the same wrist.

Tips for Taking Your Blood Pressure

1. The cuff should not feel too loose or tight. Place cuff on bare wrist, palm side up, at heart level.
2. Secure the cuff snugly with hook & loop closures, allowing room for no more than two fingers.
3. Sit quietly for five minutes before testing. Support your back, and let feet rest on the floor, keeping legs uncrossed.
4. Keep the arm and body still and avoid talking during the measurement process.
5. Keep the wrist being tested elevated at heart level. Let your other arm relax in a comfortable position.
