4.1 Fitting the cuff

First attach the free end of the cuff's air tube to the designated connector
unit. Open up the preformed cuff to a ring and slip it over the bare left upper arm just
above the elbow region. If wearing tight clothing, ensure that the circulation in the
arm is not impaired when rolling up the sleeve.
The tube should run along the centre of the inner arm towards the palm of the hand.
Ensure that the cuff itself is not twisted in any way. Fasten the pressure cuff in such a
way that it fits tightly but does not constrict the arm.
• Take readings while in a seated position.
• Relax your arm and rest it lightly on a surface such as a table. Relax during the
measuring process: do not move or talk, as this can affect the results.
