Selecting The Correct Cuff Size; Before You Start - AND Life Source UA-704 Guía De Instrucciones

SELECTING THE CORRECT CUFF SIZE

Using the correct cuff size is important for an accurate reading. A
cuff that is too large will produce a reading that is lower than the cor-
rect blood pressure; a cuff that is too small will produce a reading that
is higher than the correct blood pressure. With your arm hanging at
the side of your body, measure the circumference of your upper arm
at the midpoint between the shoulder and elbow.

CUFF SIZE INDICATOR ON THE CUFF
Most of our cuffs have an indicator which tells you whether or not you
are using the correct cuff size. Place the cuff on your arm (see Pg. E-5
to learn how to put the cuff on correctly) and if the Index Mark
points within the Proper Fit Range, you are using the correct cuff. If
the Index points outside of the Proper Fit Range, contact A&D Medical
at 1-888-726-9966 (in Canada - 1-800-461-0991) to purchase a cuff
replacement.
