regulations.
2.2 Blood Pressure Measurement Tips
To help ensure an accurate reading, follow these directions:
• Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements during stressful times.
• Measurements should be taken in a quiet place.
• It is important to take measurements at the same times each day. Taking measurements in the morning and in the evening is recommended.
• Remember to have a record of your blood pressure and pulse readings for your physician. A single measurement does not provide an accurate indication of your true blood pressure. You need to take and record several readings over a period of time.
Caution
• Avoid bathing, drinking alcohol or caffeine, smoking, exercising and
eating for at least 30 minutes before taking a measurement.
• Rest for at least 5 minutes before taking a measurement.
2.3 Applying the Arm Cuff
Note
• The following steps are for applying the arm cuff to your left arm. When
you take a measurement on your right arm, follow the cuff wrap
instructions for a right arm use mentioned under “To take a measurement
on your right arm” located at the end of this sub-section.
• The blood pressure can differ between the right arm and the left arm, and the measured blood pressure readings can be different. OMRON recommends to always use the same arm for measurement. If the readings between both arms differ substantially, check with your physician to determine as to which arm to use for your measurements.
Caution
• Remove tight-fitting or thick clothing from your arm while taking a
measurement.
1. Plug the arm cuff into your monitor by inserting the air plug into the air jack securely until it clicks.
2. Place your hand through the cuff loop. Pull the cuff until it reaches your upper left arm.
Note
• The bottom edge of the arm cuff should be 1 to 2 cm above the inside elbow. The air tube is on the inside of your arm and aligned with your middle finger.
3. Make sure that the air tube is positioned on the inside of your arm and wrap the cuff securely, so it can not move around your arm.
