Applying the Wrist Cuff

You can take a measurement on either your left or right wrist.
Notes:
• You can take a measurement on either your left or right wrist.
The blood pressure can differ between your right and left wrist
and therefore also the measured blood pressure values can be
different. Omron recommends to always use the same wrist for
a measurement. If the values between the two wrists differ
substantially, please check with your doctor which wrist to use
for your measurement.
• To ensure correct measurement, apply the wrist cuff so that it
fits comfortably around your wrist.
• Roll up your sleeve so that the unit covers bare skin.
• Do not apply over clothing.

ing upward.
