Choosing the right cu
For accurate measurement, it is important to choose the correct size cu which best ts your upper
arm. Choose the cu size according to your arm circumference and make sure the bottom of the cu
is 0.8”-1.2” (2~3cm) above your elbow.
• Small/Medium Cu = 8 3/4” ~ 12 1/2” (22~32cm) arm circumference
• Large/XLarge Cu = 12 1/2” ~16 1/2” (32~42cm) arm circumference
• This cu is suitable for use if the <<index>> mark falls within the <<ok range>> marked by two
arrows when the cu is tightened around your arm (Fig. 4).

Applying the arm cu
1. Slide the end of arm cu furthest from the tube through the metal ring to a loop.
The smooth cloth should be on the inside of the cu.
2. Plug the air hose into the connector (Fig. 5).
3. If the cu is located correctly, the velcro will be on the outside of the cu and the metal ring will
not touch the skin (Fig. 6).
