How to Take
Sit quietly for 5 minutes before measurement. Place the cuff on the upper arm, at heart level. Ensure the cuff is snug but not too tight. Press the START button and remain still during measurement. Read the user manual for detailed instructions.
Mechanism of Action
Utilizes the oscillometric method to detect blood pressure. The cuff inflates, constricting arterial blood flow, and then deflates. The monitor detects oscillations in pressure within the cuff caused by the pulsatile blood flow and converts them into digital blood pressure readings (systolic and diastolic) and pulse rate.
