Measuring blood pressure
Positioning cuff
Fit the cuff round your bare left upper arm.
Blood circulation in the arm should not be
restricted by tight clothing or other objects.
The cuff should be placed on the upper arm
so that the lower edge is 2 to 3 cm above
the bend of the elbow and above the artery.
The tube should be in line with the centre of
the palm. Now place the free end of the cuff
snugly, but not too tightly, around the arm,
and fix it with the Velcro fastener. The cuff
should be fitted tight enough to allow just two
fingers to fit beneath the cuff.
Insert the cuff tubing into the socket for the
cuff attachment.
Important: The instrument should only be operated with the original cuff. The cuff is
suitable for an arm circumference of 22 to 36 cm. A larger cuff for upper arm circumfer -
ences from 30 to 42 cm is available from retailers or the service address.
