Helpful Tips

Here are a few helpful tips to help you obtain more accurate readings:
• Do not measure your blood pressure immediately after consuming a large meal.
To obtain more accurate readings, please wait one hour before measuring.
• Do not smoke or drink alcohol before measuring your blood pressure.
• You should not be physically tired or exhausted while taking a measurement.
• It is important that you relax during measurement. Try to take a 15-minute rest
before taking a reading.
• Do not take measurements if you are under stress or under tension.
• Take your blood pressure at normal body temperature. If you are feeling cold or hot,
wait a while before taking a measurement.
• If the monitor is stored at very low temperature (near freezing), have it placed
at a warm location for at least one hour before using it.
• Wait about 5 minutes before taking a SECOND blood pressure measurement.

Applying the Cuff

1. Remove all watches, jewelry, etc., prior to attaching the wrist monitor. Clothing
sleeves should be loosely rolled up and the cuff should be wrapped on bare skin
for correct measurements.
2. Apply cuff to left wrist with palm facing up as shown in Figure A.
3. Make sure the edge of the cuff is about 3/8 inch from the palm as shown in Figure B.

4. In order to insure accurate measurements, fasten the fabric
fastener strap securely around your wrist so there is no extra
space between the cuff and the wrist as shown in Figure C.
Note: If the cuff is not wrapped tightly enough, the measurement
values may be false. However, do not apply the cuff too tightly
as it may constrict the smooth flow of blood to the hand.
5. If your physician has diagnosed you with poor circulation on
your left arm, carefully place the cuff around your right wrist
as shown in Figure D.
