Fastening the Arm Cuff
1. Tie the cuff on your upper arm,
then position the tube off-center
toward the inner side of arm in
line with the little finger.
2. The cuff should be snug but
not too tight. You should be able
to insert one finger between the
cuff and your arm.
3. Sit comfortably with your left
arm resting on a flat surface.
Tips
•
Rest for 5 minutes before measuring.
•
Wait at least 3 minutes between measurements. This allows your blood
circulation to recover.
•
For a meaningful comparison, try to measure under similar conditions. For
example, take daily measurements at approximately the same time, on the
same arm, or as directed by a medical professional.
