3. Using the Unit

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 arm. The blood pressure can differ between the right arm and the left arm and therefore also the measured blood pressure values can be different. Omron recommends to always use the same arm for measurement. If the values between the two arms differ substantially, please check with your physician which arm to use for your measurement.

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

Do not apply over clothing.

1. Place the wrist cuff over your left wrist with your left thumb facing upward.
