Note the reading on the manometer 1 as soon as you hear a
faint, rhythmic tapping or thumping sounds. This is the
systolic blood pressure reading.
6. Allow the pressure to continue dropping at the same deflation
rate. Note the reading on the manometer 1 as soon as the
thumping sound stops. This is the diastolic blood pressure
reading.
7. Deflate the cuff completely.
8. Repeat the measurement at least two further times and record
your values, date and time immediately after finishing the
measurements.
9. Remove the cuff and the stethoscope.
