Remove any tight-fitting clothing from your arm.
A single measurement does not provide an accurate
indication of your true blood pressure. You need to
take and record several results over a period of time.
Try to measure your blood pressure at the same time
each day to maintain consistency.
3.2.2 Applying the Arm Cuff
1.
Wrap the cuff around the upper arm, about 1 to 2 cm
above the elbow joint, as shown.
2.
Place the cuff directly against the skin, as clothing may
cause a faint pulse and result in measurement errors.
3.
Constriction of the upper arm, caused by rolling up a
shirtsleeve, may prevent accurate readings.
4.
Confirm that the artery position mark is lined up with
the artery.
Note：Keep the host wear position aligned with the middle
finger.
3.2.3 Sitting Correctly
To take measurements, you need to be relaxed and
comfortably seated. Sit in a chair with your legs uncrossed
and your feet flat on the floor. Place your arm on a table, so
that the cuff is level with your heart.
