1
Attach a brachial cuff (orange edge) to
the right or left brachium.
Wrap the cuff on the brachium with its center (where the
air hose is connected) going along the center of the inside
of the brachium and with the lower side of the cuff just
above the elbow joint.
2
Wrap the cuff around the brachium securely but not too tightly. Make sure there is no
gap between the cuff and the brachium.
Attaching the Cuff to the Ankle

Attach an ankle cuff (blue edge) to the
right or left ankle.
Place the cuff so that the bottom is 1cm above the ankle
and the label with the arrow is on the inside of the ankle.
Bending the knees of the patient will facilitate the cuff
application.
2
Wrap the cuff around the ankle securely but not too tightly. Make sure there is no gap
between the cuff and the ankle.
