How to take your own Blood Pressure
Fitting the cuff
Open cuff into a ring shape and pull onto your upper left
arm until the lower cuff edge lies 2 – 3cm above
the elbow ensuring that the special marking is posi-
tioned directly on the artery. The metal ring must never
come to lie on the artery as this may cause a false
reading.
Gently pull the cuff end that feeds through the metal
ring and place it up and outside around your arm. Close
velcro fastening with a light pressure.
The cuff must not be too tight. There should roughly be
space for two fingers between arm and cuff.
