Testing Your Blood Pressure
Before Measument
Avoid caffeine, tea, alcohol and tobacco for at least 30 minutes
before measurement.
Wait 30 minutes after exercising or bathing before
measurement.
Sit or lie down for at least 10 minutes before measurement.
Do not measure when feeling anxious or tense.
Take a 5-10 minute break between measurements. This
break can be longer if necessary, depending on your physical
conditions.
Keep the records for your doctor as reference.
Blood pressure varies between each arm. Always measure your
blood pressure on the same arm.

Fitting the Cuff

1. Assemble the cuff.
The smooth surface should be inside the cuff loop and the
metal D-ring should not touch your skin.
Note:
Before using the cuff, be sure the cuff size fits with your upper
arm circumference.
2. Stretch your left (right) arm in front of you with your palm
facing up. Slide and place the cuff onto your arm with the
artery mark region (in red) toward the lower arm.
Wrap and tighten the cuff above your elbow. The red line on
the edge of the cuff should be approximately 2 to 3 cm (0.8 to
1.2 inches) above your elbow. (i)
3. Leave a little free space between the arm and the cuff. You
should be able to fit 2 fingers between them.
4. Press the hook material firmly against the pile material. The
top and bottom edges of the cuff should be tightened evenly
around your upper arm.
Proper Measurement Position
1. Sit down for at least 10 minutes before measuring.
2. Place your elbow on a flat surface. Relax your hand with the
palm facing up.
3. Make sure the cuff is about the same height as the location of
your heart. (j)
Important!
If the cuff is relatively lower (higher) than the heart, the
obtained blood pressure value could be higher (lower) than
the actual value. A 15 cm difference in height may result in an
error around 10 mmHg.
4. Press the Power button. (k) The device will turn on and the
cuff will begin to inflate automatically. Remain still and do not
talk or move during the measurement.
