Applying The Cuff - Healthy Living Deluxe Thinline BSD-3007 Manual Del Usario

Insert the Cuff Plug into the Cuff Plug Jack
•
on the Monitor.
Pull the Velcro tab so the cuff is laying flat
•
with the Velcro facing up at you.
Pull the cuff to the left of the metal ring to
•
form an opening for your arm.
Put your left arm through the cuff loop.
•
The bottom of the cuff should be approx.
0.5 inch above elbow. The cuff tube
should lie over the brachial artery on the
inside of the arm.
If the cuff is properly positioned the tube
•
should be running down your arm as in the
illustration to the right.
Pull the cuff so that the top and bottom
•
edges are snug around your arm. Do not
tighten to the point of being uncomfortable.
When the cuff is positioned properly,
•
press the Velcro firmly against the pile
side of the cuff.
Sit in a chair and place your arm on the
•
table so that the cuff is at the same level
as your heart.
Relax your arm and sit with your palm facing
•
upward.
Assure there are no kinks in the air tube.
