DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS FOR
CORRECT CUFF PLACEMENT
1. Ideally, remove close-fitting garments from upper arm.
If you roll up your sleeve, ensure it does not cause
constriction of the blood flow in your upper arm.
2. Unroll the cuff of your QardioArm, and pull the tab
to open the cuff loop. (As indicated in drawing 1.)
3. Insert your arm inside the cuff loop.
(As indicated in drawing 2.)
4. Pull the cuff to close it around your arm. You should fit the
cuff closely, but not too tight so you can insert a finger
between your arm and the cuff. (As indicated in drawing 3.)
5. Make sure that the cuff is positioned about 1 inch or 2 cm
above the elbow, and your QardioArm is positioned on
the inner side of the arm, over the artery. The Qardio logo
should be on the bottom, towards your hand.
6. Support your arm so it is relaxed, and ensure that the
QardioArm is at the same height as your heart. Your arm
should remain slightly bent while taking the measurement.
