Direction for Use/Dosage
It is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for proper training on using a manual sphygmomanometer. Sit comfortably with your feet flat on the floor and your back supported. Rest your arm on a flat surface at heart level. Wrap the cuff snugly around the bare upper arm, about one inch above the elbow pit. Place the head of a stethoscope over the brachial artery, just below the cuff's edge. Close the air valve by turning it clockwise and rapidly inflate the cuff to about 20-30 mmHg above your usual systolic pressure. Slightly open the valve to allow the cuff to deflate gradually at a rate of 2-3 mmHg per second. The pressure at which you first hear the knocking sound (Korotkoff sound) is the systolic pressure. The pressure at which the sound disappears is the diastolic pressure. Fully deflate the cuff after the measurement is complete.

Always consult a physician or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition. Do not inflate the cuff beyond 300 mmHg. Wait for at least two minutes before a repeated measurement to allow blood circulation to return to normal. Using the correct cuff size is important for an accurate reading. Periodic calibration is recommended to maintain accuracy; it is suggested to have this done every two years under normal conditions.
