TIPS Precautions ◆ The wristband should be tightened and closely attached to the wrist. Do not roll up your sleeve inside the wristband. ◆ Keep the wristband at the same height as the heart (the position of the nipple) when measuring. ◆ If the blood pressure monitor has not been used for more than 1 month, it is best to remove the battery.
