hand (if your physician has diagnosed you with poor
circulation in your left wrist, use your right wrist).
2. If applicable, roll or push up your sleeve to expose your skin.
3. Fasten the cuff around your wrist, palm facing up, and fasten.
4. Make sure the cuff is firmly against your skin, if the
cuff is too loose, the
measurement will not be
accurate.

chair. The center of the
cuff should remain
at the same level as
your heart. Your legs
should be relaxed
with the feet facing
outwards.

the same conditions at the same times.
3. Relax for at least 5 minutes before taking a measurement.
Following these additional tips when taking a measurement to
get a more accurate reading. Measurement taking under any of
the following circumstances, may result in inaccurate readings.
Measuring Tips

Taking a Measurement
Caution
When using this device, please pay attention to the following situations which may interrupt blood flow
and influence blood circulation, thus having the potential to cause injury to the patient: too frequent
or consecutive measurements; the application of the CUFF and its pressurization on any arm where
intravascular access or therapy, or an arterio-venous (A-V) shunt, is present; Inflating the cuff on the arm on
the side of a mastectomy.
Do not apply the cuff over a wound, doing so may cause further injury. Do not inflate the cuff on the same
limb which other monitoring equipment is applied around simultaneously, this could cause temporary
loss of function of those simultaneously-used monitoring equipment. Don’t link the connection tube, to
anything that can result in the cuff pressure continuously increasing which can prevent blood flow and
result in harmful injury.

Recalling and Review Records
To recall or review your records, press the “Mem”button. The
first thing you will see is the calculated average for the last three
measurements taken for the selected user. Use the “Mem/Up”

What are systolic pressure and diastolic blood pressure?
When ventricles contract and pump blood out of the heart, the
blood pressure reaches its maximum value in the cycle, which is
called systolic pressure.
When the ventricles relax, the blood pressure reaches its
minimum value in the cycle, which is called diastolic pressure.
