3. Using the Unit
The bottom edge of the cuff should be 1 to 2 cm above the
elbow.
Blue strip is centred on the middle of your inner arm.
Close the fabric fastener FIRMLY.
Notes:
•
When you take a measurement
on the right arm, air tube will be at
the side of your elbow. Be careful
not to rest your arm on the air
tube.
•
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 doctor which
arm to use for your measurement.
