c) To secure the cuff, wrap it around your arm and press the hook
and loop closure together.
d) There should be little free space between your arm and the cuff.
You should be able to fit 2 fingers between your arm and the cuff.
Cuffs that don’t fit properly result in false measurement values.
Measure your arm circumference if you are not sure of proper fit.
e) Lay your arm on a table (palm upward) so the cuff is at the same
height as your heart. Make sure the tube is not kinked.
f) Remain seated quietly for at least two minutes before you begin
the measurement.
