Which arm should I use to take measurements?
It is fine to use the cuff on either arm, but
some people will experience a difference in
measurement results.
For this reason, we recommend using the
same arm every time.
Understanding the Result
Systolic pressure (SYS): The highest level of
your blood pressure – when your heart beats, it
contracts to pump blood through your arteries.
Diastolic pressure (DIA): The lowest level of
your blood pressure – when your heart relaxes
between beats.
Pulse: Number of heartbeats per minute. Most
adults have a resting heart rate between 60
and 100bpm. Athletes are likely to have a lower
resting heart rate.
