4.3. Using the cuff
a) Pass the end of the cuff through the flat
metal ring so that a loop is formed. The
hook and loop material must be facing
outward. (Ignore this step if the cuff has
already been prepared.)
b) Slide the cuff onto your upper left arm.
The rubber tube should be on the inside
of your arm extending downward to
your hand. Make certain the cuff lies
approximately ½” (1 to 2 cm) above the
elbow.
IMPORTANT: The red strip on the edge
of the cuff (Artery Mark) must lie over
the artery which runs down the inner
side of the arm.
TIP: Align red artery mark to pinky
finger.
c) To secure the cuff, wrap it around your
arm and press the hook and loop materi-
al together. Check the position of the
green SIZING SEAM on the cuff. Ensure
green sizing seam overlaps green size
range bar.
d) There should be little free space
between the arm and the cuff. You
should be able to fit 2 fingers between
your arm and the cuff. Clothing must not
restrict the arm. Any piece of clothing
which does must be removed. Cuffs that
don’t fit properly result in false
measurement values. Measure your arm
circumference if you are not sure of
proper fit.
