Applying the cuff

1. Remove all watches, jewelry, etc. prior to
attaching the cuff. Clothing sleeves should
be rolled up.
2. Press your brachial artery by two fingers
approximately 2,5 cm above the elbow on
the inside of your left arm to determine
where your strongest pulse is.
3. Slide the end of arm cuff furthest from the
tube through the metal ring to a loop. The
smooth cloth should be on the inside of the
cuff. The Velcro will be on the outside of the
cuff.
4. Put the left arm through the cuff loop. The
bottom of the cuff should be approx. 1,5 cm
above the elbow. The cuff tube should lie
over the brachial artery on the inside of the
arm.
5. Pull the cuff so that the top and bottom
edges are tightened around your arm.
6. When the cuff is positioned properly, press
the Velcro firmly against the pile side of the
cuff. The metal ring will not touch your skin.
7. Relax your entire body, especially the area
between your elbow and fingers. Place your
elbow on a table so that the cuff is at the
same level as your heart. Avoid leaning back
while the measurements being taken.
