Select the correct cuff
This instrument is supplied with the standard cuff which is fit for the arm size
25-36 cm. Care should be taken to ensure that the cuff size is appropriate for the
person whose blood pressure is being taken. This improves the accuracy of the
reading. Children and thighs with cuff size fall outside the range 25-36 cm should
select special size cuffs. Please contact the dealer to get these special size cuffs.
Preparations for measurement
• Connect the cuff and gauge as shown in the illustration;
• The user should be in a warm environment. Tight
or restrictive clothing should be removed from
the arm. Sit down at a table or desk where you
can easily rest your arm. Wrap the cuff around
the naked arm so the middle of the cuff is
over the brachia! artery pulse. Position the cuff
approxi mately 2.5 cm above the elbow. Most
cuffs have Velcro, making it easy to keep the
cuff in place. Make sure the cuff is snug, not be
too tight. Two fingers should be easily put in be-
tween cuff and arm. The cuff should be at about
the same height as your heart. If someone else
is taking your blood pressure, you may recline;
• Gently place the stethoscope's ear pieces in
your ears.
• Place the head of the stethoscope just below
(1-4 in. or 2.5-8 cm) the armpit, near the inside
middle side of the arm. It must not be pressed
too firmly or touch the cuff, or the diastolic pres-
sure may be underestimated;
• Pump the bulb slowly but steadily until the pres-
sure reaches about 30 mmHg above your usual
systolic pressure. If you have never measured
your blood pressure, please inflate the pressure
to 180 mmHg;
