HOW TO APPLY THE ARM CUFF
1. Locate your brachial artery by
pressing two fingers approximately
one inch above the elbow crease on the
inside of the left arm. Determine where
your pulse is strongest.
2. The cuff should be assembled
correctly when it is removed from
the box. If it is not, pass the end
of the cuff furthest from the tubing
through the metal D-ring to form
a loop. The smooth cloth should
be on the inside of the cuff loop.
3. If the cuff is assembled correctly, the
sewn hook material will be on the
outside of the cuff loop and the metal
D-ring will not touch your skin.
4. Put your left arm through the cuff
loop. The bottom of the cuff should
be approximately 1/2 inch above the
elbow. The cuff tab should lie over
the brachial artery on the inside
of the arm.
