Fitting The Cuff; Important - Microlife BP3GT1-6X Manual De Instrucciones

5.3. Fitting the cuff

a) The cuff is pre-formed for easier use. Remove tight or bulky
clothing from your upper arm.
b) Position the cuff on the arm as illustrated, so that the tube is
closer to your lower arm. Make certain that the lower edge of
the cuff, with the red edge, lies approximately 1/2" to 3/4"
(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.
c) To secure the cuff, wrap it around your arm and press the
hook and loop material together.
d) There should be little free space between the arm and the
cuff. You should be 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.
e) Lay your arm on a table so the cuff is at the same height
as your heart. Make sure the tube is not kinked.
f) Remain seated quietly for two minutes before you begin
the measurement.
