3.Using the Unit
6.When the cuff is positioned correctly, close the fabric fastener FIRMLY.
Notes:
•Make certain the cuff fits snugly around your arm.
•The cuff should make good contact with your skin. You should be able to fit your index finger between the cuff and your arm easily, so you can pull the cuff off and on.
•Make sure that there are no kinks in the air tubing.
Taking Measurements on the Right Arm
Please note the following points when applying the cuff to your right arm. Apply the cuff so that the air tube is at the side of your elbow.
Notes:
• Be careful not to rest your arm on the air tube, or otherwise restrict the flow of air to the cuff.
• Apply the arm cuff so that no part of the cuff is positioned over the elbow joint. The cuff should be 1 to 2 cm above the elbow.
•If used 2 times per day, the cuff will last for 3 years.
•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 physician which arm to use for your measurement.
