Quick Reference Guide

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.

• The cuff blue strip should be at the center of your inner arm, so that the air

tube is in line with your middle finger.
