FITTING AND APPLYING YOUR CUFF
Applying Your Cuff
Be seated at a table or desk with your feet
fl
at on the
fl
oor. To avoid accidently pulling on or dropping your
monitor, the cuff should not be plugged into the monitor
until after the cuff is applied to your arm.
1. Remove any constrictive clothing or jewelry that may
interfere with cuff placement.
2. Slide the cuff cylinder onto your left arm and align the
air hose over the main artery on the inside of your
arm, Fig 3. For proper positioning, the tube should
follow the inside length of the arm, Fig 4.
3. The bottom edge of the cuff should be positioned
approximately one inch above the elbow joint, Fig 5.
4. The INDEX mark arrow should be within the range
bar marking as shown, Fig 6; if the INDEX arrow is
outside of the range, a different sized cuff is needed.
The cuff should
fi
t comfortably, yet snugly around your
arm. You should be able to insert one
fi
nger easily
between your arm and the cuff.
