TAKING A MEASUREMENT

7.

Place your arm on a table so the cuff is at the 
same level as your heart. 

8. CAUTION: Before you put the stethoscope binaural in your

ears make sure the eartips are securely fastened 
to the binaural.

Insert the eartips into your ears. Adjust the metal binaural for comfort.

9.

Clip the gauge to a hard cover book on the table 
in front of you. Hold the inflation bulb in your 
right hand. Close the air release valve attached 
to the inflation bulb by turning the valve clockwise. 

10. To inflate the cuff, slowly and steadily pump the inflation bulb.  

NOTE: If you know your systolic reading, pump the inflation bulb 

until the needle on the gauge reaches approximately 50 
mmHg above your average systolic reading. If you do not 
know your systolic reading, pump the inflation bulb until the
needle on the gauge reaches 180 mmHg.  

CAUTION: DO NOT inflate the cuff above 

280 mmHg. You may damage the 
unit or cause personal injury.
If you are unsure, consult your 
healthcare provider for the correct 
inflation level.
