Using the Monitor
Applying the arm cu
1. Insert arm (preferably the left arm)
into cu as shown in the gure to
the right.
2. Wrap the cu around the upper
arm, about 0.5" (1-2 cm) above
the inside of the elbow, as shown
in the gure to the right.
3. Place the cu directly against
the skin, as clothing may cause
a faint pulse and result in a
measurement error. Constriction
of the upper arm, caused by
rolling up a shirtsleeve, may
prevent accurate readings.
4. Conrm the arm protector is at
against the arm as shown in the
gure below.
5. Conrm that the index points within the proper t range.
Note: During measurement, it is normal for the cu to feel very tight. (Do not be alarmed).
