The cuff is pre-formed for easier use. Remove
tight or bulky clothing from your upper arm.
Wrap the cuff around your upper left arm. The
rubber tube should be on the inside of your
arm extending downward to your hand. Make
certain the cuff lies approximately 1/2” to 3/4”
(2 to 3 cm) above the elbow.
Important! The on the edge of the cuff
(Artery Mark) must lie over the artery which
runs down the inner side of the arm.
To secure the cuff, wrap it around your arm and
press the hook and loop closure together.
There should be little free space between your
arm and the cuff. You should be able to fit 2
fingers between your arm and the cuff. Cuffs
that don’t fit properly result in false measure-
ment values. Measure your arm circumference
if you are not sure of proper fit.
Lay your arm on a table (palm upward) so the
cuff is at the same height as your heart. Make
sure the tube is not kinked.
Remain seated quietly for at least two minutes
before you begin the measurement.
