Put your left arm through the cuff loop. Position the
artery mark ( ) at the middle of the arm, in line
with your middle finger.
Tighten the cuff by pulling
the end of the cuff (see fig. 3).
If the cuff is not wrapped tight enough, the pressure
will be falsely higher and the wrist go numb. Correct
measuring is then not possible.
Turn your left palm upward and place the edge of the
arm cuff at approximately 2 to 3 cm above the inner
side of the elbow joint. If the “Index“ line falls within
the OK range, indicated at the edge of the cuff, this
cuff is suitable for your use (see fig. 4).
If the “Index“ line falls out of the OK range, you may
need a special cuff for measurement.
If the cuff is not pulled tight you get wrong measure
values.
Place your arm on the table with the palm facing
upward. The cuff must be at the same level as your
heart. The tube must not be kinked. If necessary,
adjust the position of your arm by placing a folded
towel or cushion beneath it.
