Evocheck BPM68 - Measurement of Blood Pressure and Pulse Rate

® BPM68 ® BPM68
Note:
Blood pressure naturally varies from one arm to the other; therefore,
measure your blood pressure on the same arm to ensure comparability
of the two readings.
4. Insert your left arm into the cu loop.
Position the ( ) mark over the main
artery on the inside of your arm.
5. The bottom edge of the cu should
be positioned approximately one
inch above the elbow joint.
6. Reaching underneath your left arm
with your right hand, pull the end of
the cu towards your body to tighten
the cu. Wrap and secure the cu,
making sure that the ( ) mark
remains in place as shown.
7. The cu should t comfortably, yet
snugly around your arm. You should be able to insert one nger easily
between your arm and the cu.
8. The cu size is suitable for use when the vertical ‘index’ mark is within
the horizontal OK range. A dierent size cu is needed if the ‘index’
mark is outside the OK range.
Note:
If you are uncomfortable with applying your cu, please seek the assistance
of another person or work with your physician to practice the cu
application. Incorrectly applied cu may result in inaccurate readings.

with the display showing the increasing
pressure in the cu. As the pressure
increases, an arrow pointing up will appear
on the display.

level, the display will begin to show the
decreasing pressure; the screen will display
an arrow pointing down while you feel the
