Telehealth tutorial: How to use your Omron blood pressure monitor

Monitoring your blood pressure is as simple as putting on the cuff and pressing a button. See how it's done in this visual demonstration and how easy it is to send the data off to our triage monitoring centre.

In order to get a good reading, sit down close to the blood pressure monitor and slide on the cuff up to a position approximately two finger widths above the elbow. Make sure you have the tubing running down the inside of your arm, and that the device is set to 'person A' before pressing the start button.
