* A cuff-based blood pressure monitor is required to complete the calibration. Measure blood pressure Step 1. From your watch’s Home screen, swipe left to theBlood Pressurewidget > TapMeasure. Step 2. Follow the on-screen instructions > TapOK. ...
While pacemakers may not be affected by your monitor, you may wonder if you can use your blood pressure monitor on your forearms. Learn about this in the next section. Can you use a blood pressure cuff on the forearm? While it’s possible to use a blood pressure monitor on the forearm...
which can cause overestimation of the blood pressure and discomfort for the patient. An NIBP cuff on the forearm may be used if it is not possible to use an appropriately sized blood pressure cuff on the upper arm.7 This method of NIBP measurement will provide consistent blood pressures that...
An automated home blood pressure machine can be purchased for patients to use at home. Although these machines are typically easy and convenient to use, the accuracy of the measurement depends on the proper positioning of the patient and placement of the cuff. Moreover, readings can be inaccurat...
A sphygmomanometer with an analog manometer and a manually operated bulb was used to apply cuff occlusion. The inflatable cuff was placed around the left arm. The fiber-based SCOS source and detector fibers were placed on the left ventral forearm at ρ = 30 mm. The participant was ...

In all cases, an occlusive cuff is used as an external pressure source. The major disadvantage of using such cuff-based BP monitors is that they cannot be used for continuous monitoring. Cuff-based BP monitors also suffer from inaccuracies due to incorrect placement of the cuff [8].These ...
