Wrapping The Cuff; Measurement Procedures - Nissei ds-1902 Instructions Manual

You may lie on your back and take the measurement. Look at the ceiling, stay calm, and do not move your neck or
body during the measurement. Again, make sure that the measurement location on the arm is at approximately
the same height as the heart.
Measured data may vary slightly depending on the posture during measurement.
If the cuff is lower (higher) than the heart, the measured reading tends to become
larger (smaller).

WRAPPING THE CUFF

1.
Place the cuff on your left arm with the air hose positioned toward your hand.
2.
Wrap the cuff around your arm with the edge of the cuff approximately 2~3 cm
above the elbow. AIR HOSE should be on the palm side of the arm.
3.
Press the surface of the cuff to make sure that the hook & loop fastens securely.
When wrapping the cuff, wrap it loosely enough around the arm so that two fingers
can be placed between the cuff and the arm. If the cuff is wrapped more tightly or
loosely than this, inaccurate blood pressure readings may result.
If you are wearing a shirt that might restrict circulation in your upper arm or you
roll your sleeve up over the upper arm, the blood flow will be restricted, preventing
accurate measurement.
