Applying the Cuff
1. Remove all accessories (watch, bracelet, etc) from your wrist. If your physician
has diagnosed you with poor circulation in the left wrist, use the right wrist.
2. Roll or push up your sleeve to expose the skin.
3. Apply the cuff to your wrist with your palm facing up. The monitor should be
positioned facing the same way as the palm.
4. Position the edge of the cuff about 1cm~1.5cm from wrist joints.
5. Fasten the wrist cuff around your wrist, leaving no extra room between the cuff
and your skin. If the cuff is too loose, the measurement will not be accurate.
6. Sit comfortably with your wrist resting on a flat surface. Place your elbow on a
table so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart. Turn your palm upwards.
Sit upright in a chair, and take 5-6 deep breaths.
7. The middle of the cuff should be at the level of the right atrium of the heart;
Before starting measurement, please sit comfortably with legs uncrossed, feet
flat on the floor, back and wrist supported.
• Rest for 5 minutes before measuring.
• Wait at least 3 minutes between measurements. This allows your blood
circulation to recover.
• Take the measurement in a silent room.
• The user must relax as much as possible and do not move and talk during the
measurement procedure.
• The cuff should maintain at the same level as the right atrium of the heart.
• Do not cross your legs and keep your feet on the ground.
• Keep your back against the backrest of the chair.
• For a meaningful comparison, try to measure under similar conditions.
For example, take daily measurements at approximately the same time, on the
same wrist, or as directed by a physician.
