• Once the test measurements have confirmed that the
Diasys is working properly, click an adhesive patch onto
the stabilising flap behind the air tubing and place it on
the patient's arm to ensure that the cuff stays in place
during the whole of the monitoring (fig 5).

flap and placing it on the patient's arm.
5.4.2. Recommendations for positioning the cuff
- Cuff size
It is essential to choose the appropriate size of cuff for the
circumference of the patient's arm, to avoid any discomfort
or measurement errors.
The maximum arm circumference for the cuff is given by
lining up the two vertical lines where “MAXI” is printed.
Above this limit, a larger cuff should be used.
