Fitting the Cu
Select a pressure cu size that corresponds to the circumference of your
shoulder (measured with a tight t in the middle of the shoulder). The size
M (22-32 cm) is a size tting the majority of people.
1. Remove all jewelry, such as watches and
bracelets from your left arm.Note: If your doctor
has diagnosed you with poor circulation in your left
arm, use your right arm.
2. Roll or push up your sleeve to expose the skin.
Make sure your sleeve is not too tight.
3. Hold your arm with your palm facing up and tie
the cu on your upper arm, then position the tube
o-center toward the inner side of arm in line with
the little nger. Or position the artery mark over
the main artery (on the inside of your arm).
Note: Locate the main artery by pressing with 2
ngers approximately 2 cm above the bend of your
elbow on the inside of your left arm. Identify where
the pulse can be felt the strongest. This is your
main artery.
4. The cu should be snug but not too tight. You
should be able to insert one nger between the
cu and your arm.
5. Sit comfortably with your tested arm resting on a at surface. Place
your elbow on a table so that the cu is at the same level as your heart.
Turn your palm upwards. Sit upright in a chair, and take 5-6 deep breaths.
