MEASUREMENT
Tie the Cuff
1. Remove all jewelry, such
as watches and bracelets from
your left arm. Note: If your
doctor has diagnosed you
with poor circulation in your
left arm, use your right arm.
2. Roll or push up your sleeve to
expose the skin. Make sure your sleeve
is not too tight.
3. Hold your arm with your palm facing up and
tie the cuff on your upper arm, then position the tube
off-center toward the inner side of arm in line with the
little finger. Or position the artery mark over the main
artery (on the inside of your arm). Note: Locate the main
artery by pressing with 2 fingers approximately 2 cm
above the bend of your elbow on the inside of your left
arm. Identify where the pulse can be felt the strongest.
This is your main artery.
4. The cuff should
be snug but not too
tight. You should be
able to insert one
finger between the
cuff and your arm.
5. Sit comfortably with your tested arm resting on a flat
surface. Place your elbow on a table so that the cuff is at
the same level as your heart. Turn your palm upwards.
Sit upright in a chair, and take 5-6 deep breaths.
6. Helpful tips for Patients, especially for patients with
Hypertension:
• Rest for 5 minutes before first measuring.
• Wait at least 3 minutes between measurements This
allows your blood circulation to recover.
• Take the measurement in a silent room.
• The patient must relax as much as possible and do
not move and talk during the measurement
procedure.
• The cuff should maintain at the same level as the
right atrium of the heart.
• Please sit comfortably. Do not cross your legs and
keep your feet flat on the ground.
• Keep your back against the backrest of the chair.
• For a meaningful comparison, try to measure under
similar conditions.
For example, take daily
measurements at
approximately the
same time, on the
same arm, or as
directed by a
physician.
