When the cuff is assembled correctly, the Velcro hook material will be on the outside of the cuff loop and the metal ring will not touch your skin. If the cuff is open, pass the end of the cuff furthest from the tubing through the metal ring to form a loop. The smooth cloth should be on the inside of the cuff loop. To determine your arm size, use a cloth tape measure and place the tape measure midway between your elbow and your shoulder around the circumference of your upper arm. Wrap the tape measure evenly around your arm. Do not pull the tape tight. Note the precise measurement in centimetres.

With all OMRON blood pressure monitors, the recommended time between calibration depends on the use of the product. If the monitor is being used in a home or personal environment, we recommend they are re-calibrated every 2 years.

For that reason, home blood pressure monitors have become increasingly popular in recent years. As technology evolves, these monitors have grown far more sophisticated, interacting with smartphones and even allowing multiple people in the same household to store their own information.If connectivity is important to you, set your sights on a monitor with Bluetooth connections and smart home compatibility. If there’s more than one person in your household, you also may want to consider blood pressure monitors that store multiple readings. Instead of buying separate devices for everyone in your home who has high blood pressure, you’ll be able to consolidate everything in one place. Some monitors handle this more easily than others, though. So you may want to watch for one that makes it easy to capture multiple readings without having to always make sure you’re under the right username. There are more than bells and whistles to a blood pressure monitor. Accuracy is a top priority, but it can get confusing since many devices promise accurate results. One method some devices use is averaging, which takes multiple readings and gives you the average of all. Some monitors also use AM/PM averaging to help you keep an eye on your overall daily blood pressure readings. Dr. Sonpal also recommends getting it calibrated for accuracy at your doctor’s office.
