2. Place your hand through the cuff loop. Pull the cuff until it
reaches your upper left arm.
The bottom edge of the arm cuff should be 0.5 inch (1 - 2
cm) above the inside elbow. The air tube is on the inside of
your arm and aligned with your middle finger.
3. Make sure that the air tube is positioned on the inside of
your arm and wrap the cuff securely so it can not move
around your arm.
Taking measurements on the right arm
The air tube should run along the side of your elbow, along the
bottom of your arm. Be careful not to rest your arm on the air tube.
Note: The blood pressure can differ between the right arm and the left arm, and the measured
blood pressure readings can be different. OMRON recommends to always use the same
arm for measurements. If the readings between both arms differ substantially, check with
your physician to determine which arm to use for your measurements.
