Applying the Cuff
11
D. Turn your left palm upward and place the edge of the
arm cuff at approximately 1-2 inches above the inner side
of the elbow joint. Tighten the cuff by pulling the end of
the cuff.
Note: To locate the main artery, press two fingers approximately 1-2
inches above the bend of your elbow on the inside of your left arm.
E. If the Index line falls within the OK range indicated at
the edge of the cuff, this cuff is suitable for your use. If
the Index line falls out of the OK range, you may need a
special cuff for measurement. Please contact our service
department at 1-800-672-8293 for more information
regarding additional cuffs.
