CAUTION
Read all of the information in the instruction manual and any other literature in the box before operating the unit.
CAUTION
This device is intended for use in measuring blood pressure and pulse rate in the adult population. Do not use this device on infants or persons who cannot express their intentions.
APPLYING THE CUFF ON THE LEFT WRIST
1.Roll up sleeve. Make sure your sleeve is not rolled up too tightly on your arm. This may constrict the flow of blood in your arm.
2.Wrap the cuff directly against your skin.
Do not apply over clothing. Place the cuff over your left wrist with your left thumb facing upward.
3.Position the cuff leaving a clearance of approximately 1/2 to 1 inch between the cuff and the bottom of your palm.
4.Hold the bottom part of the cuff and wrap it around the
wrist so it fits comfortably and securely around your wrist. NOTE: Make sure the wrist cuff does not cover the
protruding part of the wrist bone on the outside of the wrist.
