3.2Applying the Arm Cuff
Notes:
•Be sure to wrap the arm cuff correctly so that you get accurate results.
•Measurements can be taken in light clothing. However, please remove thick clothes, such as sweaters, before taking a reading.
•You can take a measurement on either your left or right arm. The blood pressure can differ between the right arm and the left arm and therefore also the measured blood pressure values can be different. Omron recommends to always use the same arm for measurement. If the values between the two arms differ substantially, please check with your doctor which arm to use for your measurement.
Taking measurements on the left arm
1.Open two Air connector caps, then insert the air plugs of the arm cuff and the inflation bulb into their respective air connectors.
Note: Be sure to use the appropriate size arm cuff. Should you require a small cuff, ensure that the small bulb is used together with the small cuff. Please refer to Chapter 7.
