Applying the Wrist Cuff

Properly applying the wrist cuff is crucial for obtaining accurate blood pressure readings with your Omron BP652. Here’s a step-by-step guide to ensure you’re using the cuff correctly⁚

Wrap the Cuff⁚ Wrap the cuff around your wrist, making sure it’s positioned about one finger’s width above the wrist bone (the radial styloid process). The cuff should be snug but not overly tight.
Secure the Cuff⁚ Fasten the cuff by pulling the hook and loop closure securely. Ensure the cuff is positioned correctly and not twisted.
Check the Position⁚ Look at the cuff to ensure the pressure sensor is positioned directly over the artery on the inside of your wrist. This is where your pulse can be felt.
Adjust for Comfort⁚ If the cuff feels too tight or loose, adjust the closure accordingly. It should feel comfortably snug, allowing for easy blood flow but not constricting your wrist.

Remember, applying the cuff correctly is essential for accurate blood pressure readings. If you’re unsure about the proper positioning, consult the instruction manual or contact your healthcare provider for guidance.
