To help ensure a reliable reading, avoid eating, smoking, exercising for
at least 30 minutes before taking a measurement. You should also try to
measure your blood pressure at the same time each day.
1. Remove any tight-fitting clothing from your upper arm.
2. Sit on a chair with your feet flat on the floor and place your arm on
a table so that the arm cuff will be at the same level as your heart.
3. Apply the arm cuff to your upper arm.
• Apply the arm cuff to your upper arm. The coloured marker should
be centered on the inner side of your arm and pointing towards
your palm, so that the air tube runs along your forearm and is in
line with the middle finger.
4. Secure the cuff around your arm using the velcro strip.
