Using the Monitor
Selecting the Correct Cuff Size
Using the correct cuff size is important for an accurate reading. If the cuff is
not the proper size, the reading may yield an incorrect blood pressure value.
The arm size is printed on each cuff.
The
index and proper fit range, on the cuff, tell you if you are applying
the correct cuff. (Refer to "Symbols that are printed on the cuff".)
If
the
index points outside of the range, contact your local dealer to
purchase a replacement cuff.
The arm cuff is a consumable. If it becomes worn, purchase a new one.
