Taking Your Blood Pressure
2. Lay left arm on the table, palm up and thread cuff end through metal loop, smooth side against arm. Then position the tube
3. Secure cuff around arm. The cuff should be snug but not too tight. You should be able to insert two fingers between the cuff and your arm.
4. Confirm that the Index Mark points within the proper fit range.
5.Press the START button. As the cuff
pressurizes, measurement will begin and the Cuff Inflation Meter will show on the display screen. It is normal for the cuff to feel very tight.
Note: If an appropriate pressure is not obtained, the device automatically starts to inflate again.
Note: If you wish to stop inflation at any time, press the START button again.
6.When the measurement is complete, the systolic and diastolic pressure readings and pulse rate are displayed. The cuff deflates and the monitor automatically shuts off after 60 seconds, or you can turn it off by pressing the START button. Your measurement is automatically stored in memory (the monitor can store up to 51 readings in memory).
7.The monitor automatically transmits your readings wirelessly if it is within range of an active ActiLink USB Transceiver. If the monitor is not in range, the data will be stored in memory until the blood pressure monitor is activated in range of an active ActiLink.
IMPORTANT: Measure blood pressure at the same time each day.
