You may have the option to manually enter your blood pressure results or to have the aTouchAway® App read the results directly from your device.  We recommend reading directly from the device.   ![](https://info.aetonix.com/hs-fs/hubfs/vitals%203%20blood%20pressure%201-png.png?width=400&height=321&name=vitals%203%20blood%20pressure%201-png.png) Once you've selected **Read from device**, touch the ***Done*** button.  Follow the instructions on the screen and the directions on the cuff to get a correct BP reading.   ![](https://info.aetonix.com/hs-fs/hubfs/vitals%203%20blood%20pressure%202-png.png?width=600&height=195&name=vitals%203%20blood%20pressure%202-png.png) #### To Take your Blood Pressure Sit down and attach the cuff to your upper arm. Place the cuff so that the tubing is on the inside of your arm and towards your hand.  There's a marker (white dot) on the cuff near the tubing that should be in line with the artery in your arm.   Be sure that the cuff is snug.  Uncross your legs and rest your arm on the armrest of your chair or on a table or ledge.  Then press the ***Start*** button on your BP machine.  Once the machine has completed your BP reading, touch the ***Ok*** button on your tablet screen.  ![BP cuff instructions](https://info.aetonix.com/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_0017.jpeg?width=400&height=533&name=IMG_0017.jpeg) Your tablet will show a window that says that it is scanning for your blood pressure device and reading the information from the device.   ![](https://info.aetonix.com/hs-fs/hubfs/vitals%203%20blood%20pressure%203-png.png?width=400&height=478&name=vitals%203%20blood%20pressure%203-png.png) Your Blood Pressure reading should come up on the screen, as shown below.  It should match what is on your machine.  If you are satisfied with the reading, touch ***Done***.  If you are not, touch where it says **Here** above the Done button.  This will restart the procedure.   ![](https://info.aetonix.com/hs-fs/hubfs/vitals%203%20blood%20pressure%205-png.png?width=600&height=274&name=vitals%203%20blood%20pressure%205-png.png) If the BP monitor does not connect to the tablet, you can choose to manually enter your reading on the initial screen.  Touch **Here** above the ***Done*** button, to return to the main screen.  Touch ***Ok*** to try the process again or select **Manual entry** and enter your BP results as they appear on your BP machine.   ![](https://info.aetonix.com/hs-fs/hubfs/vitals%203%20blood%20pressure%203%20failed-png.png?width=600&height=265&name=vitals%203%20blood%20pressure%203%20failed-png.png) If you would like to print these instructions, [click here to download the PDF](https://info.aetonix.com/hubfs/Help%20Centre%20PDFs/How%20to%20check%20your%20blood%20pressure%20with%20the%20A%26D%20BP%20Monitor.pdf?hsLang=en).   -
