NOTE:
• This device should not be used when your arm is wounded or injured.
• Thick clothing or a rolled up sleeve will cause inaccurate blood
pressure measurements. It is recommended that the cuff be wrapped
on a bare arm, or over thin clothing.
• If it is not possible to fit the cuff on your left arm, it can also be placed
on your right arm. However, all measurements should be made using
the same arm.
• To use on the right arm, you must position the artery symbol “ ”
over the main artery. Locate the main artery by pressing with 2 fingers
approximately 1 inch (2 cm) above the bend of your elbow on the
inside of your right arm. Identify where the pulse can be felt the
strongest. This is your main artery.
