Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi

1. Before Taking a Measurement:

• Avoid eating, drinking alcohol, smoking, exercising, or bathing for 30 minutes prior to measurement.
• Rest for at least 5 minutes before taking a reading.
• Sit upright with your back supported, feet flat on the floor, and legs uncrossed.
• Place your arm on a flat surface so the cuff is at heart level.

2. Applying the Arm Cuff:

Ensure the cuff is applied directly to bare skin. If sleeves are rolled up, ensure they do not constrict the arm.

1. Slide your left arm through the cuff loop. The air tube should run down the inside of your arm.
2. Position the cuff so the bottom edge is approximately 1-2 cm (0.4-0.8 inches) above your elbow joint. The artery mark (usually a red circle or arrow) on the cuff should be aligned with your brachial artery on the inside of your arm.
3. Tighten the cuff around your arm using the Velcro fastener. It should be snug but not uncomfortably tight. You should be able to insert two fingers between the cuff and your arm.
