c) Pull the cuff and tighten it by attaching the Velcro
Normally, the left arm is used, unless there is a physical reason for
using the right arm.
d) The cuff should fit snugly around the arm, but not too tight. You
should be able to fit two fingers under the cuff.
e) Place the arm on the table (palm facing upwards) so that the cuff
is at the same level as the heart. Make sure there is no kink in the
hose.
f) You can adjust the level of your arm by putting a cushion under
your arm. Ideally the cuff should be at heart level.
g) Remain seated in a comfortable room temperature for at least 5
minutes, then start the measurement.
h) For those who cannot put the cuff on the left arm, put it on the
right arm as shown.
i) Consecutive measurements will cause blood accumulation
in the lower arm which will affect the measuring results. To
improve reading accuracy, raise the arm being measured,
squeeze and relax your hand several times, then take another
measurement. Another option is to take the cuff off and wait
at least 5 minutes before repeating measurement.
j) If this device was stored in low temperature, it is necessary to
leave it in room temperature for at least 1 hour, otherwise the measurement can be inaccurate.
If it is not possible to fit the cuff to your left arm, it can also be placed on the right arm. However, all
measurements should be made using the same arm.
Comparable blood pressure measurements always require the same conditions (relax for several minutes before
taking a measurement).
