Measurement Procedure - HoMedics BPA-110 Instruction Book

Note:
If it is not possible to fit the cuff to your left arm, it
can also be placed on your right arm. However, all mea-
surements should be made using the same arm.
To use on the right arm, you must position the artery
symbol " " over the main artery. Locate the main artery
by pressing with two fingers approximately 1"
(2 cm) above the bend
of your elbow on the
inside of your right arm.
Identify where the pulse
can be felt the strongest.
This is your main artery.

MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE

Important Notes:
• Blood pressure changes with every heartbeat and is in
constant fluctuation throughout the day.
• Blood pressure measurement can be affected by the
position of the user, his or her physiologic condition and
other factors. For greatest accuracy, wait 1 hour after
exercising, bathing, eating, drinking beverages with
alcohol or caffeine, or smoking to measure blood
pressure.
• Before measurement, it is suggested that you sit quietly
for 15 minutes as measurements taken during a relaxed
state will have greater accuracy. You should not be
physically tired or exhausted while taking a
measurement.
