• Remove any garment that fits closely to your upper arm. Do not roll the sleeve since it can squeeze your arm and this can lead to false results. • Use only clinically approved ADC cuffs. ® • If you want to follow the results of your blood pressure measurements, always perform measurements at the same time of day, since blood pressure changes during the course of the day. - Page 8 Comment: If it is not possible to fit the cuff to your left arm, it can also be placed on your right arm.
