HoMedics BPW-040 manual Applying the Cuff, Correct Measurement Posture

APPLYING THE CUFF

1. Remove all watches,

wrist jewelry, etc. prior to

CORRECT MEASUREMENT POSTURE

attaching the wrist monitor.

Clothing sleeves should

be rolled up and the cuff

should be wrapped around

bare skin for correct

measurements.

2. Apply cuff to left wrist with

palm facing up as shown in

Fig. A.

3. Make sure the edge

of the cuff is about 1/4”~1/2”

(1 cm) from the palm as

shown in Fig. B.

4. In order to insure accurate

measurements, fasten

the hook and loop strap

securely around your wrist

so there is no extra space

between the cuff and the

wrist as shown in Fig. C. If

the cuff is not wrapped tight

enough, the measurement

values will not be accurate.

5. If your physician has

diagnosed you with poor

circulation in your left arm,

place the cuff around your

right wrist as shown in Fig. D.

1.Place your elbow on a table so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart as shown in Fig. A.

Relax your entire body, especially between your elbow and fingers.

Note: Your heart is located slightly below your armpit.

2.If the cuff is not at the same level as your heart or if you cannot keep your arm completely still throughout the reading, use a soft object such as a folded towel to support your arm as shown in Fig. B.

3.Turn your palm upwards.

4.Sit upright in a chair, and take 5-6 deep breaths.

Avoid leaning back while the measurement is being taken as shown in Fig. C.
