Fitting the cuff
1. Pass the end of the cuff (with
sewn-in rubber stopper) through
the metal stirrup so a loop is
formed. The Velcro closure must
be facing outward. (Ignore this
step if the cuff has already been
prepared.)
2. Push the cuff over the left upper
arm so the tube points in the
direction of the lower arm.
3. Lay the cuff on the arm as
illustrated. It is important
that the tube coming out of
the cuff lies over the
brachial artery, located just
to the inside of the bicep.
Make certain that the lower
edge of the cuff lies
approximately 2 to 3 cm
above the elbow and that
the rubber tube leaves the
cuff on the inner side of the
arm.Tighten the free end of
the cuff and close the cuff
with the Velcro closure.
4. There must be no free space
between the arm and the cuff.
Clothing must not restrict the arm.
Any piece of clothing that does
must be taken off.
