Setting up your Blood Pressure Monitor
Putting on the Cuff
a. Place the cuf f 1~2cm above the elbow joint.
Measuring can be done on light clothing such as a
shirt or blouse. However, if you have a weak
pulse, it is recommended you test on a bare arm.
Remove any tight or restrictive clothing from your
arm. For example, restriction caused by rolling up
shirt sleeve.
c. Turn the cuff end outwards and tighten it
by pulling it through the metal loop and
pressing the hook surface of the cuff on
to the loop surface of the cuf f.
b. Place hand on a flat surface with the palm
facing up and with the rubber tube running
down the center of the arm.
d. Use your free hand to adjust the
tightness of the cuff until it is firm.
To get the correct tightness of the cuff, you should
be able to fit two fingers under the cuff.
Concerned about which arm to use?
Please refer to ‘Your first test’ on page 6.
The cuff can be cleaned by hand with warm,
soapy water. Rinse thoroughly with cold water
and towel dry.
DO NOT IRON.

Using your Blood Pressure Monitor
Your first test
The British Hypertension Society (BHS) recommends that for your first test, you test both
your arms. (Note: Ensure you do not suf fer from any medical conditions which will prevent
you from having your blood pressure measured in both arms). This will determine which arm
should be used for future measurements. Take note of your systolic (high number) reading
on both arms. The arm which gives the higher systolic reading should be used in the future
for testing.
Example
Left arm: 132 (systolic)
86 (diastolic)
Right arm: 128 (systolic)
84 (diastolic)
Then use your left arm
