5.3. Using the cuff
a) Remove all objects and jewelry (e.g.,
wristwatch) from the wrist in use. This is
normally the left wrist. Put the cuff over
the wrist with the monitor face on the
inside of the wrist.
b) The distance between the cuff and the
hand should be approx. 10 mm (1/2").
c) Secure the cuff with the hook and loop
fastener so that it lies comfortably and not
too tight. No space should remain
between the cuff and the wrist.
d) Support the arm with the monitor case so
that the cuff rests at the same height as
the heart. Remain still for 5
minutes before beginning the measurement.
