Applying the Cuff

Taking a Blood Pressure Measurement

1.If your arm measures 9"-13" around, use the regular cuff included with your monitor. If your arm measures 13"-17" around, please use a Walgreens Large Cuff (Model #BC-200W).

2.Before taking a measurement, read the Important Reminders on pages 14-15. Make certain the cuff plug is inserted securely in the monitor and the cuff is assembled properly. Remove any constricting or thick clothing from your upper arm.

3.Slide your arm through the cuff loop. The cuff should be positioned on your bicep about 1/2" above the elbow. With your palm facing up, the red arterial marker should be in the center of your arm over the brachial artery. The cuff tube should run down the center of your arm. Instructions are also printed on the cuff for reference.

4.Secure the cuff around your arm using the velcro so it fits securely but is not too tight. You should be able to place 2 fingers in between the cuff and your arm.

5.The velcro tab should fall within the "OK" range printed on the cuff for proper use. If your arm is larger than 13" around and the cuff does not fall within the "OK" range, please use a Walgreens Large Cuff (Model #BC-200W).

6.Relax your arm and place your elbow on the 16 table.

0.8" - 1.2"

*If	you	select	zone	No.	1	your	blood

pressure will be recorded as on of the 48 readings available for that zone. The same is true for zone 2. When taking measurements, be sure and select the correct zone number so that the measurement is stored in the appropriate zone.

3.Press the START/STOP button. The monitor will begin to inflate to 160mmHg. If the monitor senses that you require a higher inflation level, it will automatically increase the air

pressure to the level that's right for you..

4.You will feel the cuff get tighter around
your arm - this is normal. It should not
inflate to the point of discomfort. If this
occurs, the cuff may be secured too tightly.
To stop the inflation, press START/STOP.
The cuff will deflate automatically. Rewrap
the cuff allowing more room between your	Inflation
arm and the cuff.
