PLACING THE ARMBAND
1 - Select the measurement place. Choose a place with good blood circulation,
without skin problems and in which armband use does not harm the patient.
Because of convenience and because of the fact that standard values are based on
this location, give preference to the upper arm.
2 - Check the armband’s appropriate size for the chosen area according to the
previous chart.
3 - Make sure the limb is supported to
guarantee that the armband is at the
heart’s level. Due to the hydrostatic effect,
placement above or below the heart’s level
may cause incorrect measurements.
4 - Ensure the ARTERY Mark is above the
brachial artery.
