TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE

Tips for Blood Pressure Monitoring:

Relax for several minutes before measurement.

Do not smoke or ingest caffeine at least 30 minutes prior to measure- ment.

Remove constricting clothing and place cuff on bare arm.

Unless your physician recommends otherwise, use left arm to measure pressure.

Do not talk during measurement.

Do not cross legs and keep you feet flat on floor during measurement.

Now you are ready. Follow these simple steps:

1.Sit comfortably with your left arm resting on a flat surface so that the cen- ter of your upper arm is at the same height as your heart.

2.Lay left arm on the table with palm up. Place the Easy-Fit cuff on your upper arm. Align the white marker on the cuff over the brachial artery on the inside of the arm. The tube should be facing downward and toward the inside of your arm. Fasten the cuff securely. The bottom of the cuff should be about 1" above your elbow.

3.The cuff should be snug but not too tight. You should be able to insert two fingers between the cuff and your arm.
