The center of the microphone must be located exactly
on the
brachial artery
. Locate the artery by palpation, if
required. The
red tab
identifies the position of the micro‑
phone.
The accurate placement of the microphone is the primary
condition for reliable pressure measurement during exer‑
cise tests.
The cuff must be applied directly on the skin, it may not
be applied on top of clothing, paper, etc. Apply the cuff
approx.
2 cm above the bend of the elbow. The cuff
should be
tight
, but it should not constrict blood vessels.
The cuff
may not move
during the exercise test.
