To ensure accurate blood pressure measurements, it is important to properly position the cuff. Here are the steps to follow:
1. Unroll the cuff and place your arm inside it. It is recommended to use your left arm.
2. Position the device's screen on the inner side of your arm, as illustrated in the diagram. The bottom edge of the cuff should be 0.79-1.18 inches (2 to 3 cm) above the inside elbow.
3. Tighten the cuff around your arm so that it does not move around.
4. It is important to note that repeated measurements may result in blood congestion in the arm, which can affect the accuracy of the measurement. To avoid this, you can raise your left hand and make a fist several times before taking the measurement. Alternatively, you can take off the cuff and rest for at least 2-3 minutes before measuring again.
By following these steps, you can ensure that the cuff is properly positioned for accurate blood pressure measurements.
