Attaching the Cuff to the Brachium
1 Select the red-edged cuff for the right
brachium and the yellow-edged cuff for
the left brachium.
Wrap the cuff on the brachium with its center (where the
air hose is connected) going along the center of the inside
of the brachium and with the lower side of the cuff just
above the elbow joint.
2 Wrap the cuff around the brachium securely but not too tightly. Make sure there is no
gap between the cuff and the brachium.

• Do not conduct 4-channel examination with the cuffs and hoses used for 2-channel examination.
• Select the appropriate cuff size according to the patient’s brachial/ankle circumference.
• It is recommended to use a cuff cover (optional) so that it can be removed and washed after use,
as the cuff can get dirty from sweat, etc.
