1. The cuff is preformed for easier use.
Remove tight or bulky clothing from your upper arm.

your arm extending downward to your hand. Make certain the cufflies approximately
2 - 3 cm (½" to ¾") above the elbow.
Important:
The on the edge of the cuff [Artery Mark] must lie over the artery which
runs down the inner side of the armmust lie over the artery which runs down the inner side
of the arm.
3. To secure the cuff, wrap it around your arm and secure the cuff using the velcro.
4. There should be little space between your arm and the cuff. You should be able to put
2 fingers between your arm and the cuff. Cuffs that don't fit properly result in false
measurement values.
5. Lay your arm on a table (palm upward) so the cuff is at the same height as your heart.
Make sure the tube is not kinked.
6. Remain silent and relaxed for at least two minutes before you begin the measurement.
