Applying The Cuff; Correct Measurement Posture - Health Plus BPW-040-HP Manual De Instrucciones

APPLYING THE CUFF

1. Remove all watches,
wrist jewelry, etc. prior to
attaching the wrist monitor.
Clothing sleeves should
be rolled up and the cuff
should be wrapped around
bare skin for correct
measurements.
2. Apply cuff to left wrist with
palm facing up as shown in
Fig. A.
3. Make sure the edge
of the cuff is about 1/4"~1/2"
(1 cm) from the palm as
shown in Fig. B.
4. In order to insure accurate
measurements, fasten
the hook and loop strap
securely around your wrist
so there is no extra space
between the cuff and the
wrist as shown in Fig. C. If
the cuff is not wrapped tight
enough, the measurement
values will not be accurate.
5. If your physician has
diagnosed you with poor
circulation in your left arm,
place the cuff around your
right wrist as shown in Fig. D.

CORRECT MEASUREMENT
POSTURE
1. Place your elbow on a table
so that the cuff is at the same
level as your heart as shown
in Fig. A.
Relax your entire body,
especially between your
elbow and fingers.
Note: Your heart is
located slightly
below your armpit.
2. If the cuff is not at the same
level as your heart or if
you cannot keep your arm
completely still throughout
the reading, use a soft object
such as a folded towel to
support your arm as shown
in Fig. B.
3. Turn your palm upwards.
4. Sit upright in a chair, and
take 5-6 deep breaths.
Note: Avoid leaning back while
the measurement is
being taken as shown in
Fig. C.
