HoMedics Automatic Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor with Voice Assist, BPW-260 manual Applying the Cuff

APPLYING THE CUFF

1.Remove all watches, wrist jewelry, etc. prior to 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 Fig. A facing up as shown in Fig. A.

5. If your physician has diagnosed	Fig. D
you with poor circulation in your
left arm, place the cuff around
your right wrist as shown in
Fig. D.

CORRECT MEASUREMENT POSTURE

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	Fig. B
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.	Fig. C

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.
