3. Using the Monitor

3.1Applying the Wrist Cuff

You can take a measurement on either your left or right wrist.

Notes:

You can take a measurement on either your left or right wrist. The blood pressure can differ between your right and left wrist and therefore also the measured blood pressure values can be different. Omron recommends to always use the same wrist for a measurement. If the values between the two wrists differ substantially, please check with your doctor which wrist to use for your measurement.

To ensure correct measurement, apply the wrist cuff so that it fits comfortably around your wrist.

Roll up your sleeve so that the unit covers bare skin.

Do not apply over clothing.

Taking a reading on the left wrist

1. Roll up your sleeve so that the mon- itor covers bare skin. Do not apply over clothing.

Make sure that your sleeve is not too tight and does not constrict the flow of blood in your arm.

2. Place the wrist cuff over your left wrist with your left thumb fac- ing upward.
