Secondly, proper cuff placement is critical. Be sure to place the cuff on the upper arm, 2-3 finger widths from your elbow with the cord on the inside of your arm. Lastly, make sure you are sitting still in a chair, feet flat on the floor, for at least 5 minutes. When you take the measurement, refrain from talking or moving. Following these steps, the Welch Allyn Home Series 1700 will result in readings as accurate as those used in the office by your medical professional.
