Before applying your blood pressure cuff, be sure your
wrist is within the appropriate range:
wrist circumference 5.3" – 8.5" (13.5 – 21.5 cm)
A 15 minute resting period is needed to stabilize the
body prior to taking a reading. No eating, drinking or
smoking while resting.
Applying the Wrist Cuff
1. Be seated at a table or desk
with your feet flat on the floor.
Hold your left arm in front of
you with your palm facing
upward.
2. Apply the preformed cuff to
your left wrist so that the digital
display face is positioned on the
inside area of your wrist facing
you.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR ARE EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES, PLEASE CALL THE TOLL-FREE
CUSTOMER SERVICE HELP LINE FOR FURTHER ASSISTANCE AT 1-866-326-1313.
3. Adjust the cuff 1/4" - 1/2" from the edge of the head
of the ulna bone. The cuff should fit comfortably, yet
snugly around your wrist.
Taking the Measurement
1. Rest your elbow on a solid
surface with your palm
facing upward. Elevate
your arm so that the cuff is
at the same level as your
heart. Be certain that cuff
is elevated to the proper
level; you may choose to
support your hand with a
folded towel or book. Relax your left hand.
2. Firmly press the START/STOP button to turn the unit
on. The display will briefly flash a test display.
3. The display will show the selected
user in the upper left corner, user (1
or 2).
4. The cuff will automatically begin
inflating; the user will feel the cuff
tightening on the wrist.
5. The top numbers on the display
screen will begin to go up; the
heart icon will flash in-time with the
pulse rate detected.
6. When the measurement is
complete, your blood pressure and
pulse reading results will show on
the display screen at the same time.
7. Consult the included Instruction
Manual for information on
interpreting your reading results.
8. Select START/STOP button to turn the unit off and
conserve energy and battery life. The unit will
automatically shut-off after approximately 1 minute.
Please Note:
• You can stop the inflation or deflation process of the
cuff at any time by pressing the START button.
• Many factors such as genetics, age, sex, altitude,
physical activity, anxiety, muscular development,
certain medications or even the time of day can
influence blood pressure.
• Blood pressure varies from moment to moment; even
readings taken after proper rest periods can vary.
Home blood pressure readings may vary as much as
10-20 points from ones taken at your doctor's office.
• Variations in your individual readings should only be
interpreted by your physician or trained health care
professional.
• We encourage you to consult with your physician
to achieve the maximum benefit from your blood
pressure monitor.
