Measurement
Measurement with the Desired Systolic Pressure
If re-inflation occurs repeatedly, use
the following methods. If your systolic
pressure is expected to exceed
230 mmHg, use this procedure.
1. Place the cuff on the arm at heart
level (preferably the left arm).
2. Press the START button.
3. During the zero blinks, press and
hold the START button until a
number about 30 to 40 mmHg
higher than your expected systolic
pressure appears.
4. When the desired number is
reached, release the START
button to start measurement. Then
continue to measure your blood
pressure as described on the
section "Normal Measurement".
Notes for Accurate Measurement
q Sit down in a comfortable position. Place the arm to be used
for the measurement on a table or other support so that the
center of the cuff will be at the same height as your heart.
q Relax for several moments before measurement.
q Remove constricting clothing and place cuff on bare arm.
q Unless your physician recommends otherwise, use left arm to
measure pressure.
q Do not talk during measurement.
