Using The Cuff - HEB inControl Premium BP3NQ1 4BHEB Manual Del Usuario

• With repeated measurements, blood accumulates
in the arm, which can lead to false results.
• Consecutive blood pressure measurements should
be repeated after a 1 minute pause in order to
allow the accumulated blood to flow away.

5.3. Using the cuff

a) Pass the end of the cuff through the flat metal
ring so that a loop is formed. The hook and loop
material must be facing outward. (Ignore this step
if the cuff has already been prepared).
b) Slide the cuff over the left upper arm so that the
tube is closer to your lower arm.
c) Position the cuff on the arm as illustrated. Make
certain that the lower edge of the cuff, with the
red edge, lies approximately ½" (1 to 2 cm) above
the elbow and that the tube is closer to the inner
side of the arm.
Important: The red strip on the edge of the cuff
(Artery Mark) must lie over the artery which runs
down the inner side of the arm.
TIP: Align red artery mark to pinky finger.
d) Tighten the cuff by pulling the end and close the
cuff by affixing the hook and loop material.
e) There should be little free space between the arm
and the cuff. You should able to fit 2 fingers
between your arm and the cuff. Clothing must not
restrict the arm. Any piece of clothing which does
must be removed. Cuffs that don't fit properly
result in false measurement values. Measure your
arm circumference if you are not sure of proper fit.
