TESTING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE

BEFORE MEASUREMENT

• Avoid caffeine, tea, alcohol and tobacco for at least 30 minutes before measure-
ment.
• Wait 30 minutes after exercising or bathing before measurement.
• Sit or lie down for at least 10 minutes before measurement.
• Do not measure when feeling anxious or tense.
• Take a 5-10 minute break between measurements. This break can be longer if
necessary, depending on your physical condition.
• Keep the records for your doctor as reference.
• Blood pressure naturally varies between each arm. Always measure your blood
pressure on the same arm.

SELECTING THE CORRECT CUFF

Two different cuff sizes are provided with the blood pressure monitoring system:
Small and Wide. Select the cuff size that best matches the circumference of the
patient's upper arm.

FITTING THE CUFF PROPERLY

S (Small size) 15-24cm (5.9-9.4 inches)
W (Wide size) 24 – 43 cm (9.4 – 16.9 inches)
1. Connect the air plug of the tubing to the air
jack of the meter.
