4. In order to insure accu-
rate measurements, fas-
ten the hook and loop
strap securely around
your wrist so there is no
extra space between the
cuff and the wrist as
shown in Fig. C. If the
cuff is not wrapped tight
enough, the measure-
ment values will not be
accurate.
5. If your physician has
diagnosed you with
poor circulation in your
left arm, place the cuff
around your right wrist
as shown in Fig. D.

below your armpit.
Relax your entire body,
especially between your
elbow and fingers.
2. If the cuff is not at the

pletely still throughout
the reading, use a soft
object such as a folded
towel to support your
arm as shown in Fig. B.
