if it is not possible to fit the cuff on the left arm, it can be placed on the
right arm instead. However, it is important that all measurements are
carried out on the same arm. if the measurement is to be taken on the
right arm, the artery symbol on the cuff should be positioned above
the main artery. Press the arm’s arteries with two fingers at
approximately 2 cm above the elbow on the inside of the arm to find
out where the pulse is strongest. this is the main artery.
