PUTTING ON THE ARM CUFF
Rest your left arm on a table and relax your arm.
Correct cuff placement
Wrap the arm cuff snugly. You should be able to fit one finger between the cuff and your
arm.
Correct level
Make sure the cuff is at heart level. When measuring blood pressure, lightly bend your elbow while
resting your arm on a table. If the level of the arm cuff is lower than the heart, adjust the height by
using a pillow or a cushion.
Put your left arm through the cuff loop. The “OK” range indication should be positioned at the top
with the rubber tube pointing downward in the direction of your forearm. Position the artery mark
over the main arteries on the inside of your arm as shown in the figure to the right. The tube should
be running down the center of your arm.#
