3. Using the Unit
3.1
Applying the Wrist Cuff
You can take a measurement on either your left or right wrist.
Notes:
• You can take a measurement on either your left or right wrist. 
The blood pressure can differ between your right and left wrist 
and therefore also the measured blood pressure values can be 
different. Omron recommends to always use the same wrist for 
a measurement. If the values between the two wrists differ 
substantially, please check with your doctor which wrist to use 
for your measurement.
• To ensure correct measurement, apply the wrist cuff so that it 
fits comfortably around your wrist.
• Roll up your sleeve so that the unit covers bare skin. 
• Do not apply over clothing.

protruding part of the wrist bone (ulna) on the 
outside of the wrist.
