Wrapping the cuff
Approximately 2 to 3 cm
from inside of elbow
Shoulder Elbow
<When wrapping around left arm>
1. Remove the cuff from the hook.
2. Insert the plug into the socket all the way in.
3. Tuck the arm through the cuff.
Hold on to the cuff by placing your thumb on the grip
of the guide plate.
4. Wrap the cuff aligning the guide plate to the line
extended from the middle finger with palm facing
up.
Wrap the cuff on bare skin.
Set apart 2 to 3 cm from the elbow joint.
Wrap the cuff with a gap of 1 or 2 fingers.
Be careful that the cuff is not too tight.
Press the tape fastener down well to fasten the cuff.
5. When the tube is pointing toward the shoulder,
rotate the tube so it will be pointing toward the
elbow.
Be sure to fix the tube to lie straight using the tube
fastener.
The cuff can be used on either upper arm.
<When wrapping
around right arm>
However, the difference in blood pressure between left
and right arm may be around 10 mmHg. Be sure to
always use the same arm. It is recommended to use
the arm with the higher blood pressure.

Getting into the measurement position
Sit quietly and relax while taking measurements.
Take a measurement on a desk that will bring the
cuff to the height of the heart.
* Differences in height will cause differences in blood
pressure values.
1. Place the elbow on the table or on something similar.
2. Align the height of the cuff and the heart.
3. Relax with your palm facing up.
Use the same upper arm with the same posture at the same time every day.
We recommend three measurements a day.
First ....... Upon Waking (Because, with almost no influence from body movement, the
blood pressure is closest to that at night.)
Second ... Before Lunch (Because, with no influence from the meal, it provides blood
pressure values close to the highest of the day.)
Third ....... At Bedtime (So as to obtain data close to your average blood pressure values
during the day.)
This way, by taking measurements morning, noon and night, you can use the unit to learn
the patterns of and monitor your blood pressure.
In the following situations, accurate measurements cannot be taken.
Within 1 hour after eating or drinking alcohol
Immediately after drinking coffee or tea, or smoking
In a moving vehicle
Immediately after exercising or taking a bath
(Wait at least 20 minutes and take a measurement while staying quiet.)
In cold places
(Take measurements at room temperatures around 20 °C.)
When you need to urinate
(Wait several minutes after urinating before taking measurements.)
Be sure to follow the following points for accurate measurements:
Do not move your body, arm, or fingertips.
Do not touch the main unit or the cuff during measurement.
Do not talk.
Do not use a cellular phone near the main unit.
Not following these points may make it impossible to obtain accurate measurements.
