Placement of the Pressure Sleeve
7. The bottom edge of the cuff should
be positioned approximately one
inch above the elbow joint.
8. Reaching underneath your left arm
with your right hand, pull the end
of the cuff towards your body to
tighten the cuff. Wrap and secure
the cuff, making sure that the (
)
mark remains in place as shown.
9. The cuff should fit comfortably, yet snugly around your arm. You
should be able to insert one finger easily between your arm and
the cuff.
10.The cuff size is suitable for use when the vertical ‘index’ mark is
within the horizontal OK range. A different size cuff is needed if
the ‘index’ mark is outside the OK range.
Note:
If you are not comfortable with applying your cuff,
please seek the assistance of another member of your
household or work with your physician to practice the
cuff application. Incorrectly applied cuffs may result in
inaccurate readings.
