How to properly use your blood pressure monitor for accurate results.

Please NOTE that I'm NOT a medical professional. I would just like to add one suggestion. I highly do believe the demonstration is valuable and serves as a good learning tutorial. Still, I think there could have been a visual to show how the armband is formed using the metal piece. Today, I was tasked with getting my grandma's blood pressure because she was complaining about her legs and other aches. I had to set up just using the graphics displayed on the box and cuffs, and unfortunately I didn't have access to the manual instructions. So, I searched around KZbin for a walkthrough, which is how I found this video. I had the right mind-frame on the cuff's correct positioning, but I couldn't figure out how to attach it to the velcro part and kept getting "E1" as a result. Finally, after a few minutes of thinking, I figured out that the end of the "cuff" had to be "forced" through the opening of the metal piece, which formed the band and finally I could get a reading on my grandma's blood pressure. It made sense because the armband now was secured. Yes - I'm sure this is very intuitive to many medical professionals and other users that commonly check blood pressure, but it wasn't for me. So, I am part of that small unlearned demographic. Also, my grandma is very dear to me - that's my girl. :) So, I didn't want to hurt her just for this procedure. I don't ever want to be in a position that compromises her wellbeing. Thus, I just wanted to share my experience for consideration - since this is a product selling on the open market to any consumer. Besides that, I still found the device very much useful, efficient, and user-friendly. Many thanks for your contribution to healthcare!

Finally, finding a clear visual and voiced explanation. Your filming angle is so helpful clarifying the confusion I had on exactly how to put the cuff to arm 🙏Thank you and blessed you

I have this machine, and it seems to work fine, but the cuff is too small for my arm and they don’t offer a larger cuff.

Complete garbage. I turn this thing on and it goes from 21 to E1 next to SYS.
