The children's blood pressure cuff provides accurate blood pressure measurement from the arm.

• Arm circumference: 17-22 cm.
• Suitable for all electronic blood pressure monitors.

Using the correct cuff is an absolutely necessary condition for accurate measurement.

A correct cuff is one that has the appropriate diameter from its manufacturer to fit the diameter of the arm of the person using it. Blood pressure monitors are designed to provide accurate measurements provided that the correct cuff has been used.

• If the arm's diameter is larger than the diameter covered by the cuff, then we have the "narrow cuff effect." The device's readings will be higher than the actual values.
• If the arm's diameter is smaller than the diameter covered by the cuff, then we have the "wide cuff effect." The device's readings will be lower than the actual values.

To measure your blood pressure correctly, you should place the cuff (air chamber) of the monitor on the left or right arm, approximately at heart level, just above the elbow. The stethoscope should be positioned over the artery located on the inner side of the wrist joint.

Automatic electronic blood pressure monitors are easy to use and are therefore widely adopted since they provide satisfactory accuracy in their measurements. They are especially recommended if you have hearing or vision problems and there is no one at home to assist you with measuring your blood pressure.

Blood pressure should be taken after at least 5-10 minutes of rest and calm. Also, for the previous hour, you should not have eaten, smoked, or exerted yourself too much. Allow one to two hours to pass after your workout before measuring your blood pressure. The environment should be quiet and comfortable in terms of temperature.
