To ensure the correct cuff size
Wrap the cuff around the arm.
The index line should align within the cuff range markings .
If the index line does not fit within the range markings, select a larger or smaller cuff.
To place a cuff on the measurement site
Wrap the cuff around the arm making sure that the Artery Marker is aligned over the brachial
artery as shown in the image below. If possible, do not wrap the cuff over the patient’s
clothing. The cuff should fit snug to the patient’s arm for maximum oscillometric signal
quality. An appropriate sized cuff should be placed on the non-dominate arm where the lower
edge of the cuff is located 2 cm above the antecubital fossa (interior bend of the elbow).
Ensure that the air hose from the monitor to the cuff is not compressed, crimped, or damaged.
