HOW TO WRAP THE CUFF ON YOUR ARM:
1.
REFER TO THE DIAGRAM
★
Place the cuff around a bare arm ½” to ¾”’
above the elbow joint. The pressure tube should
be oriented to run down the center of the inside
of your arm. (Refer to diagram on cuff for proper
placement.)

Keep the cuff at approximately the same level
as your heart.

Unless your physician recommends
otherwise, always use the left arm to measure
your blood pressure.

The cuff should be snug but not too tight. You
should be able to insert two fingers between the
cuff and your arm.
