HOW TO PLACE/WRAP THE
CUFF ON YOUR WRIST?
★ Place the cuff around your bare wrist ½” - ¾” above the
wrist joint on the opened-hand (inside) side of the wrist.
★ Keep the cuff at approximately the same
level as your heart.
★ Unless your physician recommends otherwise, use the
left wrist to measure pressure.
★ The cuff should be snug but not too tight. You should be
able to insert two fingers between the cuff and your wrist.
