How to take your own Blood Pressure
Fitting the cuff
Open cuff into a ring shape and pull onto your upper arm
until the lower cuff edge lies 2-3 cm (1 inch) above the
elbow. The cuff is positioned correctly if the special mar-
king is located directly on the artery. The metal ring must
never come to lie on the artery as this may cause a false
reading.
Most persons have a higher blood pressure on their left
arm. Therefore the measurement should be taken on
the left arm. If the blood pressure is higher on the right
arm, the measurement should be taken on the right
arm.
Gently pull the cuff end that feeds through the metal
ring and place it up and outside around your arm. Close
velcro fastening with a light pressure.
The cuff must not be too tight. There should roughly be
space for two fingers between arm and cuff.
