Tie The Cuff
1.Tie the cuff on your upper arm,
then position the tube off-center
toward the inner side of arm in
line with the little finger.
2.The cuff should be snug but not
too tight. You should be able to
insert one finger between the
cuff and your arm.
3.Sit comfortably with your left
arm resting on a flat surface.
Rest for 5 minutes before
measuring.
Wait at least 3 minutes between
measurements. This allows your
blood circulation to recover.
For a meaningful comparison,
try to measure under similar
conditions. For example, take daily
measurements at approximately
the same time, on the same arm, or
as directed by a physician.
