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. 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. 4)
3. Put your left arm through the cu loop. The bottom of the cu should be approximately
(2~3 cm) above elbow. The tube should lie over the brachial artery on the inside of the arm.

4. Pull the cu so that the top and bottom edges are tightened around your arm. (Fig. 6)
5. When the cu is positioned properly, press the Velcro rmly against the pile side of the cu.
6. 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. 7)
7. Sit on a chair and place your arm on the table so that the cu is at the same level as your
heart. (Fig. 8)
