The Best Points for Taking an AI Measurement
The best point is right next to the radius protrusion where the pulse is the strongest. If it is not possible to locate the
radius protrusion, the best point is where the pulse feels the strongest in the area where the bone is close to the skin
and is hard to the touch.
Once a point for taking a reading is located, attach the AI pulse wave sensor unit snugly to the wrist allowing no gap
to form between the unit and the wrist.
With the palm up, take the reading from the
artery next to the protrusion of the radius on the
thumb side.

Even if the pulse is strong but the bone is not
close to the skin, the blood vessel may be hard
to access, making it difficult to apply pressure.
