2-1. Preparing for Measurement
Attaching an Ankle Cuff
When necessary, wipe the application site with diluted antiseptic alcohol or a similar product.
1. Align the tag on the ankle cuff with the top edge of
the inside ankle bone.
2. Position the mark on the tag at the center of the
inside ankle bone.
3. First, wrap the ankle side (1) tightly.
4. Then, wrap the calf side (2).
5. Tighten the cuff so that one finger can be just
barely inserted under the cuff.
Notes:
• If you are measuring on a single ankle, make sure the cuff setting for the other ankle is "OFF"
when you enter patient information. (Refer to page 35).
• Keep the foot with the cuff attached at the level of the heart.
• The cuffs for the right and left ankles are different. Do not attach the wrong cuff.
