FITTING & APPLYING YOUR CUFF
PROPER CUFF FIT AND PLACEMENT IS CRITICAL IN OBTAINING
ACCURATE BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENTS. PLEASE READ THESE
INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY AND CONSIDER CONSULTING WITH
YOUR PHYSICIAN FOR FURTHER DIRECTION.
Before applying your blood pressure cuff, be sure you have
selected the appropriate size cuff.
To determine the proper cuff size, measure the circumference
of your left upper arm at the point midway between inside
bend of your elbow and your shoulder.
Wide-Range Adult Cuff fits arm circumference 8.6"—16.5" (22—42 cm)
If for any reason you are unable to or should not use your left arm, please modify
the instructions for cuff application to your right arm. Your physician can help you
identify which arm is best for you to take measurements from.
Assembling Your Cuff
Your cuff may need to be 'threaded' through the metal bar
to form the cuff cylinder for your arm.
1. Lay the open cuff hook and loop side down, size/
instruction wording side up on a flat surface.
2. Keeping the words on the inside of the cuff, thread the
end of the cuff through the metal bar, Fig 1. The end
of the cuff should be able to fold over onto itself for
securing via the hook and loop closure, Fig 2.
