How to Take
Wrap the cuff securely around the upper arm, 1-2 cm above the elbow. Ensure the air tube is centered. Sit quietly for 5 minutes before measurement. Press the START/STOP button. Readings will display automatically.
Mechanism of Action
The device uses the oscillometric method to detect blood pressure. An inflatable cuff is wrapped around the upper arm, and as it inflates and deflates, it measures the oscillations in the artery wall. These oscillations are converted into digital blood pressure readings (systolic and diastolic) and pulse rate.
