What inflation setting do I use for the OMRON HECM -712c. Should it be 140, 170, 200 or 240?
The inflation setting depends on your blood pressure. If you have blood pressure that is below 120/80 and find the cuff painfully tight when inflated, try setting the inflation to 140. If you have really high blood pressure (>200), you need the 240 setting. The cuff has to inflate to a pressure higher than your systolic value. However, you don't want feel like you are cutting off your circulation to your arm.
I hope this helps.
