Veridian Healthcare recommends that you rst seek the advice and recommendation of
y
our physician or healthcare professional when using home diagnostic devices, including
blood pressure monitors.
Automatic digital blood pressure monitors use the oscillometric method to electronically
measure your blood pressure. The monitor detects your blood’s movement through the artery
in your arm and converts the movements into a digital reading. The oscillometric method
does not require a stethoscope, making the monitor ideal for home use.
Blood pressure readings determined with this device are equivalent to measurements
obtained by a trained healthcare professional using the cuff/stethoscope auscultation
method, within the limits prescribed by the American National Standard for Electronic or
Automated Sphygmomanometers.
Thank you for purchasing a Veridian Healthcare Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Monitor.
With proper care and use, your monitor will provide you with many years of reliable
readings.

Before Taking a Measurement
1. Your readings should only be interpreted by your physician or healthcare professional with
access to your individual medical history. Regular use of a home blood pressure monitor
will allow you to track and record your readings for discussion with your physician.
2. Conduct your measurement in a quiet place while seated in a relaxed position. Rest for 15
minutes before taking your reading. If an error occurs or you desire to take a second
reading, allow 15 minutes between readings for your blood vessels to return to normal.
3. Avoid smoking, eating, taking medication, alcohol, physical activity or any other stressful
activity for 30 minutes prior to taking a reading.
4. Always remove any jewelry or constrictive clothing that may interfere with the cuff
placement.
5. Keep yourself and the monitor still during measuring; do not talk during the reading.
6. It is recommended that you take your readings as the same time each day to better
monitor any indications in your results.
7. Record your daily measurement on the included chart or some other written document to
share with your physician.

Before applying your blood pressure cuff, be sure you have selected
t
he appropriate size cuff.
To determine the proper cuff size, measure the circumference of your
left upper arm at the point midway between inside bend of your
elbow and your shoulder, Fig 1.
Adult Cuff ts arm circumference 11-3/4” - 16-1/2” (30-42 cm)
Large Adult Cuff ts arm circumference 16-1/2” - 18-7/8” (42-48 cm)
Additional cuff sizes are available for order on the enclosed order
form.
If for any reason you are unable to or should not use your left arm,
please modify the instructions for cuff application to your right arm.
Your physician can help you identify which arm is best for you to
take measurements from.
1. The cuff should not be plugged into the monitor until after the
cuff is applied to your arm.
2. Remove any constrictive clothing or jewelry that may interfere
with cuff placement.
3. Be seated at a table or desk with your feet at on the oor.
4. Position the cuff on a solid surface with the tubing facing up and
away from you. The metal ring/bar on the cuff should be to the
left of the tubing.
APPLYING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE CUFF
PROPER CUFF FIT AND PLACEMENT IS CRITICAL IN OBTAINING
ACCURATE BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENTS. PLEASE READ THESE
INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY AND CONSIDER CONSULTING WITH YOUR
PHYSICIAN FOR FURTHER DIRECTION.

APPLYING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE CUFF
5. Open the cuff by pulling or rolling the bottom of the cuff to the
right, Fig 2. This should open the cuff without fully unrolling it,
creating a cylinder. Do not extend the cuff beyond the metal bar.
6. Insert your left arm into the created cuff cylinder. Position the
index mark over the main artery on the inside of your arm, Fig
3, 4.
7. The bottom edge of the cuff should be positioned approximately
one inch above the elbow joint, Fig 5.
8. The cuff should t comfortably, yet snugly around your arm. You
should be able to insert one nger easily between your arm and
the cuff.
The cuff size is suitable for use when the vertical index mark is
within the horizontal OK range. A different size cuff is needed if the
‘index’ mark is outside the OK range.
If you are not comfortable with applying your cuff, please seek the
assistance of another member of your household or work with your
physician to practice the cuff application. Incorrectly applied cuffs
may result in inaccurate readings.
