(2–3 cm) above elbow.
NOTE:
If using the larger cuff designed for arms

elbow crease.

7. Pull the end of the cuff so that it tightens evenly
around your arm. Press the hook and loop
material together to secure, ensuring the
cuff does not slip during measurement. Allow room
for 2 fingers to fit between the cuff and your arm.
8. Lay your arm on a table (palm upward) so the cuff is at the
same height as your heart. Make sure the tube is not kinked.
