HOW TO TAKE A READING
1. Make sure you are seated with your feet flat and your back and
arm supported. Rest your arm at heart level.
CAUTION:
MAKE SURE ALL COMPONENTS ARE ASSEMBLED CORRECTLY

OR AN INCORRECT READING.
2. Locate brachial artery by placing two fingers 2 cm above the bend
of the elbow on the inside of the arm.
3. Put your left arm through the cuff loop. Place the bottom edge of
the cuff approximately 1-2 cm above the elbow. Place the cuff so that
the air-pipes were over the brachial artery.
4. The cuff should be wrapped so that it fits snugly and stays in
place. You should be able to place one finger between the cuff and
arm. Fasten the cuff by folding the end of the cuff over the D-ring and
