Using your Alvita Blood Pressure Monitor

How to apply the cuff

1. Unwrap the arm cuff, leaving the
end of the cuff through the D-ring of
the cuff.
2. Put your left arm through the cuff
loop. The colour strip indication should
be positioned closer to you with the
tube pointing in the direction of your
arm (Fig. 1). Turn your left palm upward
and place the edge of the arm cuff
approximately 1.5 to 2.5 cm above the
inner side of the elbow joint (Fig. 2).
Tighten the cuff by pulling the end of
the cuff.
3. Centre the tube over the middle
of the arm. Press the hook and loop
material together securely. Allow room
for 2 fingers to fit between the cuff and
your arm. Position the artery mark
over the main artery (on the inside of
your arm) (Fig. 3,4). Note: Locate the
main artery by pressing with 2 fingers
approximately 2 cm above the bend
of your elbow on the inside of your left
arm. Identify where the pulse can be
felt the strongest. This is your main
artery.

5. Lay your arm on a table (palm up-
ward) so the cuff is at the same height
as your heart. Make sure the tube is not
kinked (Fig. 6).
6. This cuff is suitable for your use if
the arrow falls within the solid colour
line as shown on the right (Fig. 7).
